I developed my `Flight' bird series while we were in lockdown during April after seeing our local birds freely flying around, totally oblivious to the Human Pandemic. 

My little Tauhou (Silvereye) flits around in the garden near bird feeders, Kowhai flowers and fruiting trees. Silvereye arrived in great numbers from Australia in the 1850s, and Maori named the bird Tauhou, meaning `stranger' or `new arrival'.

Highly polished sterling silver birds (10mm x 14mm), hanging from sterling silver ear hooks.  Just over 2cm in length from the top of the ear hook.

Please note:

Lilygriffin jewellery is dainty and delicate, so care must be taken when wearing and storing it.  

Please do not wear while exercising, swimming, gardening, showering, cleaning or sleeping.  Store in a soft protective pouch or box out of direct sunlight and away from moisture, excessive heat or cold.  Please do not store in the bathroom.  Avoid contact with household chemicals, perfumes, creams, and hairspray/gels.

I would be delighted if you wanted to wear my jewellery everyday, but please be aware that you will be able to enjoy your hand painted pieces longer if they are not worn on a day to day basis.
