Artisan Gabrielle Gould Sterling Silver Bird Brooch Feather Fine American Craft

A beautifully made sterling silver whimsical bird brooch with feather tail accent. Handcrafted by modern craft artisan, Gabrielle Gould. About Gabrielle Gould (taken from her website) Gabrielle Gould is a minnesota-born, florida-raised designer who incorporates the objects and forms found in her surrounding coastal environment as elemental components of her creations. Gabrielle frequently combs the Atlantic coastline and wetlands in search of the objects and materials we find in her work. From miniature shells to fossilized sharks teeth, her work is a compelling, figurative expression of the varied wetland habitats found in the southeast. A self described modern hunter-gatherer, her choice of materials is often an easily overlooked wonder - a miniature mollusk shell, semi-precious mineral in its raw form, fallen feathers. Using fine gold, sterling silver, and silk thread, Gabrielle weaves these elements together into narrative pieces that each tell their own unique story.
