For The Birds




Bird figurals are always a popular theme for costume jewelry.  Birds capture our imagination and we envy their  freedom of flight.  They are the perfect pallet for jewelry artist to work their magic.     





This peacock brooch is a Panetta creation.   The quality is exceptional and as with all of their work it has the look of fine jewelry.
