Feather jewelry has come a long way since its heyday in the 1960s, when hippies adorned themselves with real feathers. Today’s designers craft beautiful feather jewelry using gold, diamonds, and gemstones. Some create ultra-realistic feathers complete with exquisite details, while others craft more abstract, romantic plumes that highlight significant gemstones and pearls. 

Sutra

This dreamy bracelet from Sutra will become your new favorite piece of jewelry. It features silky diamond feather barbs that encircle the wrist. The bracelet is extremely flexible, too. We love this updated take on a classic diamond bracelet.

Boucheron

Boucheron has a full collection, Plume de Paon, that takes inspiration from peacock feathers. Frédéric Boucheron himself designed the maison’s first Peacock feather necklace, capturing the intricate details and natural beauty of the feather. While Boucheron has many significant pieces of high jewelry depicting feathers, these earrings are a more casual way to wear them. The 18K rose gold feathers appear to float up the ear. They are fully set with pavé diamonds, and each features a rose-cut diamond at the center.

Cadar

Cadar’s sharp, architectural Feather earrings are ultra-modern. The highly polished 18K yellow gold shines brightly as you move, thanks to the articulated barbs.

Mikimoto

While Mikimoto might be best known for its classic pearl jewelry, it also creates gorgeous diamond jewelry. This feather necklace features curving diamond and white gold barbs that swirl around a 7.5mm Akoya pearl.

Saboo Fine Jewels

These stunning earrings from Saboo Fine Jewels are a brilliant rendition of a peacock feather. Saboo used multicolor titanium instead of gold for the base. This allowed them to create a range of colors, including pink, blue, and green, to re-create the nuances of a peacock feather. The spine and barbs of the feather are set with diamonds, and the eyes of the feather feature blue sapphires encircled by diamonds.

Jacquie Aiche’s boho aesthetic comes to life in this gorgeous ring. The ring is crafted from 14K gold and features two feathers that wrap around the finger with a line of diamonds along the spine. It is available in rose, yellow, and white gold. Jacquie Aiche has a full feather collection with earrings, bracelets, necklaces, as well as men’s jewelry. The company makes each piece to order in the US.

Anita Ko

Anita Ko takes a different approach to feather jewelry. In this design, wings are the inspiration, rather than a single plume. This necklace features two pavé diamond wings that look like they are about to take flight. It’s crafted from 18K white gold and set with three carats of diamond. There’s also a smaller model available.

The 14K yellow gold bracelet measures 6.75” in length and you can shorten it by using the second closure. It’s part of the designer’s Angels collection, which features additional feather jewelry as well as pieces with wing, angel, and sky motifs.
