This tiny delicate and beautiful piece is cast in pure 14k rose-gold. They are cast two at a time here in NYC. I finish each one personally by hand.
This listing includes a matching 14k rose gold 18-inch chain.
I had been trying for years to get a hummingbird skull and then one afternoon, at my studio in the Tennessee mountains, my cat killed two!! Later, some Do-Gooder (beware of them) threw the little skulls away while he was cleaning! Years later, here in the middle of Gotham, my friend busts out a hummingbird skull and asks: "Could you do something with this?" I was floored! I took it to one of the last casting houses in NYC and made a mold. The silver cast was perfect.
I was always fascinated by watching hummingbirds flutter around my garden in my studio in Tennessee. Their peaceful movements and delicate bone structure always put me in a creative trance. One day a friend stopped by my studio in New York City and presented me an intact skull of a hummingbird. I immediately rushed to one of the last casting houses in the city and had a mold made to be casted in different materials. The finish product was so perfect. It captured the elegant nature of this tiny powerful creature.
