Swan Cups

Symbols of a Lifelong Bond

Two swan-handled cups, one cobalt blue and one lime green, sharing a single saucer beside a pool, a golden swan float behind them.

Swans form a lifelong bond, and the couple’s custom-designed Swan Cups (two cups sharing one saucer) reflect their togetherness while celebrating their individuality.
