Turquoise & Feather Hand-Forged Sterling Silver Pendant

Hand-forged in the Adirondack foothills, this sterling silver pendant combines a sculptural feather with a freeform turquoise stone in a design rooted in natural form and disciplined silversmithing. A substantial feather serves as the foundation of the piece, while a vibrant turquoise cabochon adds color, texture, and visual balance.

Built as a one-of-a-kind handcrafted silver pendant, this design reflects intentional bench work, enduring craftsmanship, and the timeless character of artisan sterling silver jewelry.

Form & Wearability

Measuring just over 2 inches in length, this pendant offers substantial presence while remaining comfortable for everyday wear. The feather is forged with dimension and movement, creating a lifelike silhouette that catches light across its textured surface.

A freeform turquoise stone is positioned along the edge of the feather, creating an organic composition that feels balanced and naturally integrated. The large bail accommodates a wide range of chain styles and sizes, allowing collectors flexibility in how the pendant is worn.

The oxidized finish enhances the depth of the feather details and highlights the contrast between silver and stone.

Chains are sold separately.

Material & Studio Practice

This artisan sterling silver pendant is hand-forged using traditional silversmithing tools and hands-on fabrication techniques within our Adirondack jewelry studio. The feather's center stem extends through the design, forming the bail before looping into a forged swirl that adds both structure and visual movement.

The freeform turquoise is carefully set within a straight bezel and framed by a bold beaded perimeter, creating a strong focal point while preserving the natural character of the stone. Every detail is shaped and refined by hand, reflecting the disciplined studio practice behind Sterling Roots.
