FIRESTARTER Red Peacock Feather Statement Necklace

FIRESTARTER Red Peacock Feather Statement Necklace

Description

Bam! This is a total knockout statement piece – not only is it a beautiful peacock feather necklace, but the feathers have been dyed RED! It’ll definitely get people’s attention, and probably even a few “oooh… are those red peacock feathers?” :D

***** Please note that this item is made to order - allow an extra 4 days on top of the shipping time (see my Shop Policies for more info shipping) for me to make your necklace for you. Thankyou!***

I’ve trimmed each peacock feather and hand-stitched them onto the wool felt backing – the feathers themselves are a darker red – leaning more towards scarlet than a bright ruby. As you can see in the photos, they have a purple/amethyst centre, which is even more vivid and warm in person.

Each necklace is individual and unique due to the nature of working with peacock feathers. The feather piece measures approx. 20cm (8inches) in length and 10cm (4inches) wide, and hangs from a 33cm/13inches long sterling silver chain. The hook and eye clasp used as the closure is also handmade by me, from sterling silver wire.

A COUPLE OF NOTES ON CARE:

Feathers:
Although I take the utmost care with my peacock feather items (everything is posted in flat gift boxes, with wadding inside the box to help prevent the item from moving), feathers can become compacted during shipping. They will regain their fuller shape once they have been unpacked and allowed to expand, but if you would like to speed things up a bit, they can be fluffed back into shape by steaming them - so go put the kettle on! Don't overdo it, obviously - handle them with care.

Sterling Silver:
Sterling Silver can tarnish if left unused for long periods of time, but you can keep it looking beautiful by simply giving it a polish with a clean cotton cloth after wearing.

FIRESTARTER is an original LushPunk design.
