"The eagle, a royal symbol, when bearing a ring with aetite stone pendant, was an auspicious symbol to protect pregnancy and delivery for the continuation of the dynasty. Since antiquity was believed that eagle would bring a aetite stone to the nest to help the female lay her eggs, therefore the association of this stone to the symbol of royalty, the eagle."
