Recherche, Mon Plumage Cruelty-Free Feather Earrings

Description

4.25 " cruelty-free feather earrings. Each contains one large white flocked with gray goose feather and three duck feathers. The duck feathers come from an all-American breed of duck named after the Cayuga native tribe in New York State. These ducks are all black and, according to standard, have a green sheen on their feathers. However, my boy, whose name is Augie March, has a purple sheen. His base feathers are a light chocolate powder color with a pink hue. If you look closely at the accent feathers on these earrings you will see that half of each of the large black duck feathers is purple iridescent. The smaller black iridescent feathers are purple with a green tint and, along with the small white feathers, come from Clyde, my Indian runner/wild mallard boy. All feathers are shed naturally, carefully chosen and hand made into the product seen here.

This particular pair is the largest pair I've created thus far and dangles from small sterling ear wires. There is one cylindrical silver spacer bead on each earring that adds a bit of elegance.

No they are not game bird feathers, and no they did not come from a bag of discarded feathers from any kind of commercial operation, but from my beloved pet duckies and the lovely Lucy Goose herself, for which my etsy shop is named.
