Symbolism of the Gold Feather Pendant
Feathers are an ancient Celtic symbol of the ethereal, of freedom, of inspiration, of the air and of the sky. The Druids wore ornate feathered robes and talismans in ceremonies to invoke the power of the Sky Gods. This was said to allow them to transcend the earthly plane and enter the ethereal realm.
“For once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards, for there you have been and there you will long to return.” – Leonardo Da Vinci
Necklace options
Choose from a Gold plated trace chain, black leather thong, or a coloured leather thong.
To buy your Gold Feather pendant tied onto a coloured leather thong, select the ‘coloured leather’ option, and at checkout let us know which colour you would like in the comments box. Choose from red, green, blue, pink, purple, natural or silver. They are all made from 3 mm round coloured leather and your pendant will come tied onto it with two slip knots. This allows the necklace to be adjusted in size from approx 13″ to 26″.
Coloured Leather Thong Necklaces
To buy with a metallic braided leather necklace, select the ‘Pendant Only’ option and then add the leather necklace of your choice to your basket and your pendant will come threaded onto your braided leather necklace in a gift box.
Necklace Sizing
The plated trace chains and braided leather necklaces are all 18″ long which is the standard length used for pendants as in general for women the necklace will sit on the collarbone with the pendant hanging just above the breast bone. For men an 18″ necklace will generally sit at the base of the neck. If you have a petite or smaller than average neck it may hang a little lower.
