Feathers as a symbol

Feathers are a common symbol in many cultures across the world, with two common traits appearing throughout history. They often represent a connection to the spiritual and the divine, as well as being a symbol of flight and freedom, be it physically, mentally, or spiritually.

The feather in Native American culture

Feathers are sacred items among many Native American peoples. The Iroquois perform Great Feather Dances in thanks for their gods’ blessings, while the Hopi, Pueblo and Zuni tribes planted prayer sticks, decorated with feathers, in their holy places. The fluttering of the feathers in the wind was a way of sending prayers to their gods.

Remembrance jewellery

Marking the connection between the physical and the ethereal realm, feathers often symbolise a loved one’s passing. Some customers have asked us to incorporate ashes from a deceased relative or pet into the jewellery to create a lasting memorial of them, which we are happy to do.

A personal touch

Whether you are creating a piece of remembrance jewellery or a gift for a friend or loved one, you can personalise it by having the person’s name engraved on the reverse side of the feather.
