BIRDS of a FEATHER - Lucy Golden Jewelry

The sight of an owl is always a treat, and barn owls are no exception. These earrings are a tribute to a very cool bird that nests in barns (surprise) as well as dense forests. I make them out of Sterling and brass, and carefully handpaint them, finishing them with a protective coat of resin. They measure 3/4" wide by 1" tall, not including their Sterling earring wires.

Sandpipers are cool. And Spotted Sandpipers are especially cool. They are found by both saltwater and fresh water, which means oceans, rivers, ponds, lakes...This would explain why their range map covers North America *and* most of South America! And this would also explain why I see them when I am at one of my favorite swimming and slag-hunting spots (see slag jewelry on website). Or more specifically I see *him*. In explanation, spotted sandpiper females breed with several males in a season, and thus lay several clutches of eggs, and it is the males (who are not necessarily the fathers) who raise the young. I first became aware of the existence of a fresh-water sandpiper when I saw him (as it turns out) making a ruckus when I appeared. These earrings honor such an adaptable and versatile bird! I make them out of Sterling and brass, and carefully handpaint them. They measure 1" wide by 1" tall, not including their Sterling earring wires.

Nothing says spring like the sight of a robin, and finding a robin's nest is always a thrill. These earrings pay tribute to this iconic bird and its eggs, which are so special that a color has been named after them. One earring features a robin, such a study in gray and red-orange, and the match features a Sterling nest cradling three eggs, which are, of course, robin's egg blue. I hand-fabricate the earrings out of Sterling and jeweler's brass, and carefully hand-color the robin and the eggs. They measure 1" x 5/8" not including the Sterling earring wires. They are as light as spring and fun to wear!

Crows or ravens, ravens or crows? The choice as to which remarkable bird these earrings pay tribute to is yours. I am a fan of both, so am not leaning either way. Both birds have a tendency to collect colorful and shiny objects, which is a trait that many of us can respect and relate to, speaking for myself, anyway. I make them out of Sterling, jeweler's brass, a miniature coin (cool, eh?) and a snippet of shiny chain. They are handpainted with enamel paints, and sealed with jeweler's resin. They measure 1 1/4" tall by 1" wide, not including the Sterling earring wires.

And as an aside. they were inspired by the recent find of a raven's skull under a stand of tall white pines where we hear the ravens talking (and they really do talk!). I considered this to be a gift from the world, and the earrings are my response....which doesn't mean that they couldn't be crows, of course.
