Russian Heritage Pins and Buttons
Description: This Russian phrase "Сейчас или никогда" means 'Now or never'. This design would be a good fit for those who like foreign scripts. Cyrillic especially has become quite a stylish and fashionable trend recently. It is also a good gift for your friends or classmates who study or are interested in the Russian language or other Eastern European languages similar to Russian.
Description: Alexander Pushkin quote: I've lived to bury my desires and see my dreams corrode with rust now all that's left are fruitless fires that burn my empty heart to dust. Struck by the clouds of cruel fate My crown of Summer bloom is sere Alone and sad, I watch and wait And wonder if the end is near. As conquered by the last cold air When Winter whistles in the wind Alone upon a branch that's bare A trembling leaf is left behind.
Description: The Slavic symbol known as Kolovrat is widely recognized and possibly the most popular one (the oldest known artifacts featuring this symbol date back to approximately 3000 years before Christ, in the Polish region). Kolovrat's "dynamics" further add to its significance, representing the never-ending cycle of life as well as its consistency, repetition, and diversity. As a representation of the sun and fire, it is associated with Swarog, one of the Slavic pantheon's most important gods and the divine blacksmith. Swarog's symbol is believed to bring good luck, prosperity, and protection against evil forces. For fans of Slavic mythology, the Kolovrat symbol would make an excellent gift.
