This beautiful hand crafted 1.5 inch Feather is made out of 22 gauge Argentium Silver. What is Argentium you may be wondering? Argentium is a step above sterling silver, by using less copper content then sterling and adding geranium your piece will stay brighter longer. Less polishing for you and less need of chemical use for the artist! Argentium is also made using recycled silver! The feather is wrapped with 20 gauge gold filled wire and finished with a gold cable chain. Each feather is individually cut out of the sheet of silver, shaped, and textured personally by the artist. These are made to order.
