Peacock Panache
Although we don’t have a collection dedicated to peacock jewellery, we have so many stunning pieces now that we felt it was about time we put them together.
Peacocks have been used as a symbol of wealth and beauty since ancient times. The peacock can be seen frequently depicted in art through the ages, dating back to Christian tomb art and ancient Rome.
The peacock originates from India, where it is used as a symbol of royalty. This royal motif made its way into Western culture, with monarchies using peacocks in art and decor.
In Roman times, the peacock was frequently used as a symbol of rebirth and resurrection. This came from observations that a peacock's feather doesn't fade and therefore symbolizes immortality. This is why peacocks were often depicted in Christian tomb art.
Peacocks and their feathers in particular are still very poplar motifs, frequently used in art, decor, interior design and fashion across the globe.
Only male peacocks have the exquisite vibrant plumage that's so often depicted in art and fashion. The purpose of this vibrant display of colours is to attract females (peahens) in mating season. As a general rule, the larger and brighter the plumage, and the more 'eyespots' it has, the more likely they are to find a mate.
Incredibly, a peacock's tail feathers can grow up to six feet, making up 60% of its body length. The vibrant colouring of the peacock is due to microscopic 'crystal-like structures', reflecting light and creating fluorescent colours.
This magnificent creature has inspired some of our creations, and influenced the pieces below. Flaunt your stuff like a peacock and wear your style with pride; who knows, maybe you'll even attract a mate!
BIG CRYSTAL PEACOCK & FLOWERS BROOCH
This striking brooch is very similar in style to a brooch further up this page. However, this brooch is smaller in size, measuring: Width: 6cm by Length: 8cm. The colours are also slightly more vibrant, making it really pop and stand out against any garment. Whilst the pink is set on a gold coloured base, the green is set on a black, framing the silhouette of the peacock and flowers. Add a statement piece to your collection with this enchanting bracelet. Covered in an array of crystals, the peacock's body and tail is defined with different shades and sizes of crystal. Whilst the body is pink, the tail feathers alternated between pink ombre and green ombre, creating a three-dimensional effect. The edge of the tail is framed with large teardrop shaped crystals. Add a splash of sparkle and colour to your wardrobe just in time for Spring and Summer. How many peacocks do you see sat on the moon?! This unique brooch features the most stunning palette of colours, with a royal blue and vibrant mustard yellow/gold as the primary colours, complimented by secondary colours, including green, purple and red. Each tail feather is beautifully depicted with a single crystal, three colours and a textured effect. Whilst the peacock itself is finished in a smooth gloss and crystals, the moon on which it sits is coated in fine glitter, framing the peacock body in spectacular fashion. Going from the daintiest crystals to the most extravagant, this peacock brooch isn't short of sparkle. Whilst the entire brooch is covered from head to tail in crystals, the definition remains pristine, with a thin gold border framing each part of the peacock's body. Amongst the sea of circular crystals, there are a few dainty star shaped crystals; how many can you spot?! This is a real statement piece that will definitely spark a few conversations. With so many duplicate designs and repetitive styles, we think it's important to design pieces that really stand out and make a statement, so you can always find something to suit your style.1 commentaire
