Eagle Plate Connector

Dispatched within two working days, tracked and signed.

An eagle in flight, wings spread, cut from a single plate of silver and worked by hand from there.

This is the piece that holds a set together. It sits at the clasp where the hook meets the chain, gathering feathers and charms behind it so they hang the way you want them to.

It is worn at the side of the neck rather than the front, which surprises people who expect a pendant. Hang it at the front if you would rather, but it was made to connect.

It carries Light on the back, transferring that energy to your body.

"Imbued with dreams and hope,
it strengthens the wearer and lights the path ahead."
- Katou Shun

Care

Made to age

The silver darkens as you wear it. That is the point, not a fault to fix.

It goes fastest in the stamped lines, which is where most of the detail sits, so the pattern reads more clearly the longer you own it.

If you would rather have it bright, a polishing cloth brings the shine back. Silver dips and chemical cleaners are faster, but they lift the dark out of those lines as well and take the detail with it.

In Japan an almost black patina is read as a sign of long use. This work is made to age.

The chains fasten with a hook rather than a lobster clasp, so take yours off before swimming or bathing.
