This design is very near and dear to my heart. It is inspired by a unique narrative that’s happening in my very own backyard.
In 2020, my husband and I adopted 4 chickens. After a couple months, I started noticing odd trinkets ending up in their pen. I found everything from slices of bread to gorgeous pieces of glass to bones and teeth. I couldn’t figure out where these pieces were coming from. And then, one day, I was watching my hens when I saw these crows land on the fence post lining their pen. They seemed wildly entertained but eventually flew off. The next day, I saw the crows drop a huge slice of bread right where I’d been finding the treasures. It dawned on me: the crows were leaving presents for my hens. So, over the course of the last few years, I’ve been slowly collecting the unique gifts.
Also, I’ve observed these crows protecting my flock against hawks as they raise the alarm when danger is near and chase off the intruder.
To honor these birds, I’ve created this petite totem. May this little Crow bring you protection and prosperity.
This charm started as a hand-drawn design that was intricately carved into wax. The design was then brought to life by casting in Sterling Silver and solid 14k yellow gold. Each crow features a tiny gem offering in its beak; the sterling silver features a 2mm faceted Moonstone with brilliant blue flash, while the 14k yellow gold features a 1.3mm antique diamond from my personal collection.
This listing is for the charm only; chain not included.
Crows measure approximately 1” from the top of the bail to the bottom of the wing.
14k gold weighs approximately 2.8 g, and sterling silver weighs approximately 2.2 g.
