Ring-necked Pheasant Feather Earrings

$30.00

These earrings are made from Ring-necked Pheasant feathers, carefully removed by hand, cleaned, and sorted before being layered to create the final arrangement.

This pair features three layers of feathers arranged to highlight each feather’s natural markings. The feathers are joined with bronze-toned metal hardware fixed to a lobster-claw closure for security.

Every pair is slightly different, shaped by the natural patterns of the feathers themselves.

You will receive the exact piece shown in the photos.

Pheasants are a common game bird, though few realize they are not native to America. That said, they are not invasive either, making them occasional targets in sporting events.

I have mixed feelings about pheasant shoots—feelings I will not sort out here. That said, I am absolutely a proponent of hunting when the most is made of the harvest. When the hunt club I was working with offered to let me collect mementos and artifacts from their quarry, I eagerly accepted.

Each of the feathers in these earrings was carefully removed by hand. I treated every feather with respect, acknowledging the life it had carried—each one a testament to the bird’s journey. They were then cleaned, sorted, and arranged to create the earrings you see before you.

Thanks to you, these feathers now soar with a story all their own.
