01Medium Life Feather in sterling silver, front view

Medium Life Feather

£55.00 One only

Side

Dispatched within two working days, tracked and signed.

A shorter bald eagle tail feather, and the one that reads as jewellery rather than statement.

It hangs close and sits flat under a collar, so it is the size to pick if you want to wear it to work and not think about it.

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

"Imbued with the energy of life itself,
it guides the wearer to a better path."
- Katou Shun

Sam’s note

Left-facing or right-facing makes no difference to the piece. It is purely preference, so pick the shape you like — or one of each if you are wearing more than one.

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.
