Add Protective Seal $25.00

Silver darkens. Bronze darkens faster, and against skin it can leave a mark.

The seal is a clear coating applied by hand at the bench, after the piece is poured, oxidized, and relieved. It goes on thin, sits in the low places without clouding them, and locks the finish exactly where it was the day it left Vermont. The oxidation stays where it was put. The high points stay bright.

It goes on the back face and the edges — the surfaces that meet skin and shirt — so the front of the piece is untouched.

Applied to every pendant in your order before it ships. Nothing for you to do.

Add to any order.

Add Damage Protection $30.00

Covers impact damage, a bent bail, and deep gouges from daily wear. If it happens, we repair or replace the piece.

Your choice of leather cord + gift box included

In 1784 Ben Franklin wrote his daughter a letter complaining about the eagle on the new country's seal. A bird of bad moral character, he said, that lives by stealing another bird's fish. The turkey was the more respectable choice. A true native, and brave enough to run a soldier out of his barnyard.

Anyone who has hunted one in the spring knows he had a point. A tom in full strut at first light, fan spread, chest puffed out, drumming loud enough to feel in your ribs, is about as sure of himself as anything in the woods. Come November, he's the reason everybody ends up at the same table.

The fan spreads wide behind him, every feather ridged and hammered. Head turned to the side, wattle and snood worked in, breast hammered round, feet planted. Recesses blackened, high points polished. Hammered bail.

Fan spread. Feet planted.
