Eco-friendly boho earrings for free-spirited womenLongmont, Colorado 159 Sales On Etsy since 2016
Announcement
At Avian Designs, we sell handmade bohemian, upcycled jewelry! Our leather earrings double as diffuser jewelry. Simply add a drop of your favorite essential oil to the back of your upcycled leather earrings and enjoy the benefits of aromatherapy all day long!
So what does upcycled mean anyway? It means taking something old and repurposing it to make something new! All of the leather/suede I use comes from old jackets, pants, etc., mostly found at thrift stores. And all of the feathers come from either my beloved backyard chickens or from friends' birds (chickens, ducks, and a blue and gold macaw) and are collected after they naturally fall off the birds on their own (a process known as molting) -- hence being cruelty free.

These are a beautiful color of blue. I get tons of compliments whenever I wear them. They’re beautiful and lightweight.

About
My name is Amy and I live with my family in beautiful Colorado. My store name -- Avian Designs -- comes from a combination of my children's names and, of course, the word avian also means "relating to birds."
We have several backyard chickens that I affectionately refer to as "my girls" from whom I gather most of the feathers for my jewelry. We have an Ameraucana named Candy Corn that I think of as the smartest one of the flock. We also have a couple gold-laced Cochins named Ramona and Beezus (who are super cute with their feathered feet, but aren't very bright), as well as several other sweeties. I enjoy dyeing the black and white feathers I collect from Pinky (an Ancona) and our light Brahma.
In addition to working with feathers, I also enjoy creating up-cycled jewelry from leather and suede clothing that I find in thrift shops.
I love art and creating and enjoy putting together unique earrings.
If you have an idea for some earrings, but don't see them listed, please contact me. I'd be happy to talk with you about creating custom earrings just for you!
