Various cultures from all around the world consider feathers as magical, mystical items that, when encountered, signal a special message to the receiver. It’s a belief that is seen in most tribal/ancient cultures, from the Egyptians and the Celtics, to the Native Americans and the Aborigines of Australia. All around the world, people revere feathers as a direct line to the divine. It makes sense: birds have always been considered holy or sacred creatures by ancient peoples because of their ability to fly close to the heavens. Our ancestors believed that birds carried prayers, souls, wishes, and good luck from the earth to the sky. Because of their connection to the Divine, finding feathers was often a sign of good luck or a connection with the spirit world (hence ancient peoples use of feathers in their garments), and while each color of feather represented something different, each one was taken as a sign that a Divine presence is watching over you.

Caring for your vermeil jewelry
Vermeil is a thin layer of 18k gold over sterling silver. To extend the life of your gold plated vermeil jewelry, avoid wearing when bathing, applying perfume or lotion, or when working out.
