"Flavius Birdus", Sterling Silver, Brass, Turquoise, Jade and Tourmaline Abstract Bird Brooch/Pendnant
I often look at birds and think that their masks look like some sort of Roman helmet and this was the inspiration for this abstract bird piece. Created in forged and fabricated sterling silver and brass the helmet is resplendent with plumage of jade discs. The Bird’s eye is tube set faceted tourmaline and the “belly” a beautiful turquoise cabochon. The piece is finished with a patina and is worn as a brooch using the handmade sterling silver and 18 gauge spring steel mechanism and as a pendant using the integrated hidden bale. This piece measures approximately 4×2” and is signed, hallmarked and dated 2025. Flat rate insured and tracked USPS Ground Advantage shipping or USPS Priority shipping within the US. International shipping prices vary.
