Æsc: single long earring of cruelty-free cockerel feathers, upcycled brown leather, antiqued brass and riverstone
NZ $33.00
This long, single earring features rooster feathers, a strip of tan-coloured leather, and antiqued-brass coloured beads.
The leather was cut from old upholstery leather samples that would otherwise have been thrown away. I worked two antiqued-brass coloured beads onto the leather strip, and put a single knot into the leather above the beads.
The feathers are cruelty free – that is, they were moulted naturally by their avian owners, then collected, cleaned and sterilised before being mounted in these earrings. The supplier from whom I buy my feathers does not support factory farming or the mistreatment of animals in any way. These feathers are from roosters, and have shades of chestnut, rust, fawn, black, and smoky dark brown.
Threaded onto the nickel-less, antiqued brass ear-wire is a bead of semiprecious, cream-coloured riverstone, flanked by two antiqued brass beads.

'Æsc' – pronounced 'ash' – means 'ash tree' in Old English.
This feather and leather earring is lightweight, and measures 16cm from top to bottom. The feathers are approximately 4cm wide at their widest point when the earring is laid flat.
Feathers are delicate and thus feather jewellery should be gently treated. Avoid crushing this earring, and handle it as little as possible. Storing it hanging will help it to keep its shape for as long as possible.
The stone and brass beads have been simply slid onto the ear-wire, so it is recommended that you keep the ear-wire closed so that the beads do not slip off and get lost. Keeping the earring hanging, rather than jumbled up in a jewellery box, will also help to ensure that the ear-wire does not get opened or bent by other jewellery pieces pushing against it.
