L’Hirondelle - Sterling Silver Bird Necklace Ephemera No. 01

Ephemera is an ongoing series of wearable fragments translated from antique paper into metal. These first birds began with an antique French advertising image found in the public domain. I engraved the little swallow into recycled sterling silver, and made it two ways because choosing only one was clearly not going to happen. Each pendant is finished with a 24-inch 316L stainless steel chain accented with Swarovski crystal, cubic zirconia and Czech glass in smoky blue tones. Only two free-form birds sterling silver birds were made for this first small flight.
