Jewelry made with crystals and minerals for the care free bohemian in all of us.

Kim is the artist and designer behind Black Feather. She creates one of a kind jewelry using gemstones, metal, clay, feathers, natural materials like bone and wood, and vintage pieces she finds along her journeys while traveling. She enjoys mixing vintage and natural pieces together to make unique jewelry.

She has been creating art and jewelry for most of her life. From an early age she pursued art. "I loved drawing and painting, whether it was mountains, people, or found objects", Kim said. She plans on adding some art to Black Feather that is bohemian inspired like paintings/drawings of feathers. She showcases some of her Dia de Los Muertos art, which is inspired by her culture in her other etsy shop called Peachy Cheek: http://www.etsy.com/shop/PeachyCheek

Her hands desired more and after taking a jewelry making class as a child she was hooked. She still wears her very first piece, a bracelet she hand made using silver for the cuff and turquoise. "I began creating unique jewelry to wear, I wanted one-of-a-kind pieces that no one else could have and this led me to my admiration for vintage pieces. The recycling of vintage jewelry fascinated me because of its multiple re-uses, and the special history that came along with each piece. I use elements of vintage and natural elements to create my pieces."

Why Black Feather?

"It has been said that Black feathers give the mystical wisdom that comes with true spiritual initiation. They also offer protection and repel negative energy. And I am all about positive energy, being surrounded by it and providing it. My pieces bring positive energy, each gemstone, charm or carving have meaning, healing properties, and exude elements from our nature. For example, turquoise, my favorite stone, represents strength and protection from harm. Turquoise, especially, is known for its positive healing energy, and as a protector."
