These dramatic earrings are incredibly soft to the touch. They look great with long hair, or make a stunning impact with short hair or an updo. Antique brass chains peak out between the feathers to add texture. Earwires are antique-brass. Gold-plated earwires available by request. Turquoise stones are natural color and may vary slightly from photos. Please message if you prefer more green or more blue color stones and I will do my best to accommodate. Coque feathers are from unique roosters that grow these exceptionally long feathers and shed them once a year. These birds have been bred for over 100 years by fly fishermen, who use the feathers as fishing lures. Sustainably sourced in the USA. Length ranges from 10" to 11" depending on available feathers.
