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.

- Solid sterling, never plated. .925 sterling silver or bronze all the way through.
- Poured and finished in Vermont. By our family, one at a time, in small batches.
- Light enough for every day. Balanced on the ear, no pull, no plating to irritate.
- Made to pass down. No plating to wear off, no trend to outgrow.
One wing is feathered. One is not. She is between them, and neither is letting go.
The pairing is older than the reading most people give it. Feathered wings and membraned wings were carved on the same tombs, the same church walls, the same funerary panels — not as opponents but as the two who came for you. The one who carried you and the one who waited.
You are not taken. You are collected. Both of them are there, and both of them have hold of you, and the argument between them was settled long before you arrived.
The same piece as the pendant, poured small enough to wear at the ear. Feather rows and membrane ribs darkened in the recesses so they hold their depth at this size.
Neither one is letting go.
