Jewelry Components Inspired by Nature

Peacock feathers swaying in the summer breeze

So many of Nina Designs’ jewelry components are inspired by nature. In fact, our Botanical Collection is completely derived from nature. When I first saw our new sterling silver Peacock Feather Pendant, I knew right away that I wanted to make some earrings. They’re so beautiful on their own, but I wanted to add something special and unique. I decided to match it up with a real peacock feather to compliment the translation from nature to design. With some gemstones and sterling vermeil dangles, I’m ready for a night out on the town!

Where do you find your inspiration for jewelry design?

  1. love these! what sort of finding did you use to attach your feathers? i’ve experimented with different findings in the past, and none seem to be ‘just right’.

  2. Stephanie used a head pin. She put the ball of the pin just below where the last strands met the stem and then, holding it in place with a pliers, twisted the silver wire tightly around the stem. Hope that helps!
