French Pigeon Chain Dangles

These whimsical Pigeon Chain Dangles feature imagery from Histoire Naturelle Générale des Pigeons (1808), a celebrated French ornithological work by Coenraad Jacob Temminck and Antoinette Pauline Jacqueline Knip. This lavishly illustrated book was part of a grand series documenting the diversity of bird species and is renowned for its exquisite hand-colored plates, combining scientific precision with artistic beauty.

The imagery captures the delicate charm of pigeons, rendered with extraordinary detail and vibrant hues, reflecting the 19th-century fascination with cataloging the natural world. Set on sterling silver earwires, these earrings bring a touch of history and nature-inspired elegance to your collection. Perfect for bird lovers, history buffs, or admirers of unique design, they’re a wearable homage to the artistry of natural history and the timeless allure of avian beauty.

Cherish your Folkloric Jewelry with a touch of tender care to maintain its magic and charm. Our pieces are handcrafted using decoupage techniques and sealed to protect the artistry, though they should not be worn in water, such as showers or swimming pools, to preserve their beauty. Sterling silver elements may develop a patina over time and can be revived with a simple polish. Our bronze chain necklaces are treated with a non-tarnishing solution, but to avoid possible reactions with sweat, it's best not to wear them during intense activities. Remember, any small imperfections are part of the unique handcrafted nature of each piece.
