Framed Kildeer

A clean geometric frame surrounds this killdeer, giving the earrings the look of a precise field sketch. The photo-etched detailing clearly marks the plover's signature double breast bands, while fine cutouts separate its thin legs from the bottom border. I rarely come across this scarce design, which was produced in both gold and silver tones for fans of the noisy, ground-nesting shorebird.
