Light as air and full of quiet strength, these sterling silver feather earrings were created as the guiding example for a class I once taught — a demonstration of precision, patience, and the artistry of fabrication.
Each feather is crafted individually by hand, its form shaped and detailed through traditional silversmithing techniques. The surface is then oxidized to reveal the fine, lifelike lines that bring texture and movement to every curve. This gentle contrast of light and shadow gives each feather its own distinct spirit — delicate yet bold.
Designed for both comfort and security, the sterling silver ear wires include a safety catch behind each feather. Despite their sculptural detail, they are exceptionally lightweight, hanging approximately two inches long.
Originally made as a class sample, this pair embodies the beauty of learning, making, and sharing craft. Now part of my studio sale, they carry the story of creation itself — one feather, one spark of imagination, at a time.
