About this Product
This rustic blue raven is created from a recycled broken Blue Willow china plate piece! It is set in both fine and sterling silver. It is topped with a resin cabochon with wildflowers set in it and flanked by two hand-forged star embellishments. A little patina was added to the mix to bring out the depth and beauty of the setting.
The bird hangs from 18" inch sterling silver chain with two tourmaline beads and a lobster clasp.
Please note that this is handmade item using natural and/or recycled materials and, as such, may contain minor imperfections. That's the beauty of not buying mass-produced jewelry, though -- you get a one-of-a-kind piece!
Your new jewel comes in its own muslin bag and includes a silver polishing cloth.
Enjoy!

Meet the Maker
Hi! I'm Wendy. Sterling silver and turquoise remind me of my childhood. I come from a cowboy family and my dad and maternal grandfather competed in rodeos all around the West. I loved the silver cowgirl jewelry that my mom, grandmothers, and aunts all wore and am darn lucky to have some of those vintage pieces in my personal collection.
As a jewelry designer, those memories infuse my own creations. You'll see a lot of turquoise pieces here at oaktownwendy, but I love working with all the stones that nature provides (and a few man-made ones, too). Sustainability is important to me and I strive to include recycled elements in many of my designs: recycling my own silver scraps into decorative embellishments; using broken china plates as well as surfite and fordite "stones" that are byproducts of other manufacturing processes; and turning well-loved cowboy belts into brand new cowgirl earrings and bracelets.
Come on in and look around!
