Harrison’s writing portrays regions of North America, with stories set in picturesque areas like Nebraska’s Sand Hills, Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, Montana’s mountains, and along the Arizona-Mexico border. The scenery illustrating the variety of nature and the passing of seasons are all featured in the film, which was of influence for the creation of this beautiful ring. Native American culture emphasizes harmony with nature, which is evident in the film. Legends of the Fall was primarily filmed on lo- cation inAlberta and British Columbia, Canada. Principal photography began in mid-September 1993.The maple leaf became a symbol of Canada as early as the 1700s. In 1848,The Maple Leaf, a Canadian literary annual published inToronto, ON, announced the maple leaf as the chosen emblem for Canada. By 1860, the maple leaf was used in the Royal Canadian 100th Regiment Badge. Maple trees symbolize balance, offering, practical magic, promise, longevity, generosity, and intelligence. Leaves hold symbolism in many cultures, but in general, they symbolize fertility and growth.The green leaves of spring and summer depict hope, renewal and revival. Blazing yellow, orange and red leaves of fall represent the change of season.
