One-of-a-Kind Turquoise Feather Pendant in Hand-Forged Sterling Silver

This one-of-a-kind turquoise pendant is forged by hand in sterling silver in our Adirondack jewelry studio. A raindrop-shaped turquoise with striking black matrix anchors the design, framed by a hand-forged feather that wraps the outer edge. Every element — from the overhand backplate to the final polish — is shaped and assembled at the bench using traditional silversmithing tools and torch work.

This is hand-forged sterling silver jewelry built with structure, weight, and heirloom intention.

Form & Proportion

Measuring just over 1.5 inches in length, this pendant carries strong vertical presence while remaining balanced and wearable. The raindrop silhouette creates natural movement, guiding the eye from the crown of the feather to the base of the stone.

The forged feather wraps the perimeter with controlled flow, adding dimension without overwhelming the turquoise. The scale is deliberate — substantial enough to anchor a chain, refined enough for everyday wear.

It sits centered at the collarbone with quiet authority.

Materials & Method

The turquoise features a bold black matrix that moves organically through the stone, creating contrast and depth against the sterling silver setting. Each variation in pattern is natural and unrepeatable.

The feather is hand-forged from solid sterling silver, shaped and detailed through disciplined tool work to create depth and line. Beneath the stone, an overhand backplate reinforces structure and durability, giving the pendant both strength and longevity.

Our process emphasizes:

• Bench-forged silver construction

• Individually formed bezel and feather detailing

• Balanced weight and structural integrity

• Heirloom quality silver finish

Every surface is refined by hand in our Adirondack studio, ensuring lasting form and material integrity.

Collector Context

This pendant is a single-release design. The stone’s matrix pattern, scale, and forged feather composition will not be recreated.
