A small reliquary for something fleeting.
This piece holds a juvenile spotted woodpecker feather—light, patterned, and impossibly delicate—protected within a hand-formed brass container. Like a fragment saved from the forest floor, it feels discovered rather than made. Subtle iridescence from imitation black pearls gathers along the side, while a deep black onyx anchors the piece with quiet weight.
The brass has been worked to carry a soft, timeworn surface, echoing the idea of preservation—of keeping something rare close. Worn as a pendant on a leather cord or as a brooch, it shifts easily between adornment and artifact.
A piece for those drawn to nature’s smaller wonders… and the instinct to keep them.
