PERCHED

Definition:
v. perched
v.intr.
To stand, sit, or rest on an elevated place or position.

And for this little birdie, that "elevated place" is your hand!

He just loves to perch on a finger and go wherever you go...watching in on your world.

This bird is hand sculpted in fine silver and is solid silver - not hollow. As the bird is a considerable amount of silver, he sits on a squared silver ring shank, which means that he won't want to twist around your finger.

He fits a US size 7 1/2 ring size.

The bird himself is nearly an inch wide and stands up just over half an inch tall.

Simple, elegant, stylish cocktail ring for yourself or to gift.

We grow grapes and have just finished the harvest today! Phew! It's hard work - but great to do too.

No guesses then what inspired me to make this bunch of grapes necklace!!!

The necklace has two layers. The first is silver and shows the outline and cutouts of a bunch of grapes. The layer behind is color anodized aluminum - colored green - maybe Chardonnay or Sauvingnon Blanc?.

I hand dye the aluminum and then seal the colored layer. This process creates a layer of metal that is colored rather than just surface of color. This means the color won't rub off as it is part of the metal.

The grapes hang on a 16 inch sterling silver cable. If you prefer a chain - either 16, 18 or 20 inch, please convo me and I'll be happy to change it.

The grapes are approximately 4cm long - 1.75 inches.
