A parrot painted in graphite enamel, hand-painted and fired onto solid brass, from which a cascade of gold chains and onyx-hued beads falls 3.5" to 4". These are shoulder-grazing earrings built for movement: every step sets the chains swinging a half-second behind you.
The post sits at the lobe; the drama hangs below it. Because each parrot is painted by hand before firing, no two pairs carry identical feathering. For the night the earrings are the outfit.
- The Motif
- A realistic Parrot, sculpted in high relief and holding a bead in its beak.
- The Palette
- Sophisticated Graphite Grey enamel contrasting with Gold accents and Black/Pearl beads.
- The Technique
- Kiln-Fired Enamel. The brass body of the bird is hand-painted with a unique grey enamel to mimic the texture of feathers, then fired to set the color.
- The Architecture:
- Stud
- The bird sits securely on the earlobe via a post back.
- Drop
- Multiple fine chains hang from the bird, creating a "tassel" effect that grazes the shoulder.
- Base Metal
- Solid Brass Alloy (Strong enough to support the structure).
- Dimensions
- Length: Approx 3.5" - 4.0" (Statement length).
- Weight
- 0.8 oz per pair (Note: These are statement earrings and have some weight).
Storage: Always hang them up or lay them perfectly flat. If you bunch them in a bag, the chains will knot.
Moisture: Keep dry to prevent the brass chains from tarnishing.
Impact: Enamel is glass-based powder fused to metal; dropping them on a hard floor can crack the bird's coating.

The story
Fired enamel is usually known for bright reds and greens. To create this sophisticated "Graphite" grey is a challenge in chemistry.
Master Artisan Ratan must mix the enamel powders precisely to get this stormy, monochromatic shade. The application is even harder. The bird is not flat; it is a 3D sculpture. Ratan has to paint the enamel over the curve of the wing and the chest without the color running or pooling.
Once fired, he attaches the "waterfall" a series of hand-linked chains that mimic the bird's long tail feathers. It is a piece that balances the stillness of the sculpture with the movement of the chains.
Silent bird. Loud statement.
