These genuine peacock feathers dangle from a nickel-free post/stud, with a blue glass bead and cluster of golden seed beads. They're beautiful large eyes from the peacock's train, and shimmer in green and blue and turquoise hues, creating a gorgeous, bold statement earring.
They are approximately 6&1/4 inches or 13cm long from the ball on the stud post to the bottom of the feather.
Feathers make for lovely light-weight earrings that are surprisingly durable. Follow the standard jewelry care of "last on, first off" and these will last beautifully for you.
The feathers were collected by a friend of mine from a peacock that lives in her neighbourhood, then hand-washed by me. (The peacock is quite a character - he's fallen in love with a female turkey, who in turn loves her farmer. It's a tragic love triangle, haha.)
All items in my shop are designed and handcrafted by me in Victoria, BC, Canada. You can see more of my work at https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/WhispereDreams and you can follow me on Instagram and Facebook as @whisperedreams for progress shots, first view of my latest creations, and the occasional seasonal promotion.
Shipping: I aim to have items out in 1-3 business days (excluding holidays and weekends) and ship through Canada Post standard ground shipping, which is not tracked but saves you money. If you want expedited and tracked shipping, I can arrange that for an additional fee.
