Capture the dramatic sweep of a crow's wing in flight, right at your ears. These three-dimensional embroidered wing earrings bring the bold silhouette of the Large-billed Crow to life, part of a collection inspired by specimen boxes for avian treasures.
Sixty individually embroidered feathers are layered across the pair (thirty per wing), each one hand-stitched and combined to form a wing caught mid-flap. Black, deep navy, and deep purple threads mix together with fine glitter edging to capture the iridescent structural shine of real crow plumage.
Each wing measures 3.5 cm wide, 7 cm high, and 1.5 cm deep (hardware not included), made from cotton, felt, organdy, and embroidery thread, with a built-in metal wire that holds its gentle windswept curve. Choose your hardware in hypoallergenic surgical stainless steel or SV925 silver; note that the small jump ring connecting the wing to stainless steel hardware is plated metal, so let the shop know if you have particularly sensitive skin. Silver hardware may darken naturally over time from exposure to air, but a soft cloth or silver polish will bring back the shine.
Arriving in a dedicated small box, these earrings work equally well worn or displayed as sculptural objects. Because the delicate hand-stitched feathers and internal wire frame are sensitive to water, humidity, and pressure, save them for clear days, handle them gently when putting them on or taking them off, and store them away from direct sunlight to keep the colors from fading.
Three-dimensional embroidered wing earrings or piercings inspired by the Large-billed Crow. Each pair features 60 individually embroidered feathers in black, deep navy, and deep purple threads to evoke the crow’s structural color, with shimmering thread edging and silver-tone hardware.
The curved, layered wings measure W3.5 × H7.0 × D1.5 cm, excluding findings. Materials: cotton fabric, embroidery thread, felt, organza, metal wire, and metal findings. Choose earring or piercing hardware from the options.
The wing motifs contain metal wire and are delicate. Avoid water, humidity, direct sunlight, bending, and snagging. Colors may vary slightly from the images. Surgical stainless steel hardware and SV925 hardware options are available; the connecting jump rings between the wing motifs and hardware are plated metal.
