Not the turkey. But something commonly related with vanity; the peacock. The attributes of this bird goes beyond beauty though. Because of the eye-like patterns on its feathers, characteristics of awakening, protection and holiness were derived and attached to the wearer as well. The colors reflect those of nobility. Peacocks are also known to eat certain poisonous plants without suffering any symptoms; hence they were oft represented as being immortal as well. But my favorite quality would be that of it possessing spiritual healing energy; aiding those seeking balance and harmony in their lives. Which proves that even in nature style and substance really can exist together. And here is our tribute to the peacock. A bespoke brooch using antique
diamonds and pave of blue and green sapphires in yellow gold.

...oh, and a happy Thanksgiving to all!
