Ruffle our Feathers: The Best of Feather Jewelry

By Taylor Ferri on July 5, 2011

From peacocks to ostriches, feathered jewelry has taken flight as this spring and summer’s hottest fashion accessory. Designers from the likes of Alexander McQueen to Pamela Love to Ashley Doty of Owlita, have infused exotic bird feathers (both faux and authentic) to enhance the vibrant, natural feel of nature within their collections. From delicate, natural feathers to pressed metals with feather prints, these come-back statement pieces are sure to stand the test of time.

The best part about the authentic pieces and rare feathers used is that they can be collected and dyed in a humane manner, which means not worrying about animal cruelty and our feathered-friends while still being able to purchase one-of-a-kind statement jewelry.

Be daring with these trendy fashion pieces and incorporate them into your wardrobe and create some Native flair or infuse a hint of 1920s flapper girl savoir-faire. Owlita’s feather earrings mix into your long hair and fashion a contrast of color and texture creating a definite wow-factor. The combination of bright hues and deep pigments make wearing these feathered embellishments fun, flirty and alluring all at the same time. It not about what you’re wearing, but how you wear it!

Remember that these delicate treasures need special care. Be sure to keep them away from sun to avoid damage to the dye or natural coloring. If you find they begin to separate, use a light aerosol spray to gently piece them back together.

Check out the Owlita Summer 2011 collection here. Pamela Love’s TopShop collection was also full of feathers and whimsy. For more everyday pieces that you can add to your collection visit the online shops of Forever 21, TopShop, or Etsy stores anotherfeather and EMarieDesigns3.
