These designs celebrate the rich, vibrant colours of peacocks and the dramatic, arresting eyes at the end of their tail feathers.
I’ve worked with silver, platinum, and yellow, rose & white golds, contrasting polished with brushed finishes on the feathers create a rich look.
The rings flamboyantly display coloured gemstones and diamonds, while on the earrings and necklaces the silver has been oxidised (blackened) for impact.
This designs allows for many different gemstones to be used, both cabochon and faceted cuts.
The way the peacock spreads its impressive tail feathers, and shakes it in a shimmering display encouraged me to keep the different plates and settings separate as much as possible, allowing for flexibility and visual movement.
