Graphite Parrot Chandelier Earrings
The maker's mark
A shoulder-grazing chandelier earring: hand-painted graphite parrot, cascading gold chains, and onyx-hued beads, pure movement.
Solid brass base with hand-painted and fired graphite Meenakari enamel
Post-back stud with cascading multi-chain tassel drop and bead accents
Approx. 3.5"–4.0" length
Specification
- 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
- Meenakari (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
Meenakari 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.
