Pelican in Flight

Wild Bryde pelican earrings and brooch, in gold-plated and rhodium-plated finishes, tentatively identified by head, bill and neck shape (could also be a heron or stork). Collectible nature-inspired jewelry.

This pelican captures the bird’s distinctive long bill and pouch, posed mid-flight with wings outstretched in a way that suggests its effortless glide. The photo-etched brasswork reveals subtle feather textures across the wings, lending a delicate depth to the gold- or silver-toned surface. Pelicans are known for their graceful soaring over coastal waters, and this piece seems to echo that quiet motion.
