From local artist Disintegration - sterling silver hoops featuring the tiny clawed feet of a sparrow.
Handcrafted from ethically sourced, real sparrow claws that have been carefully preserved, moulded and cast into precious metal.
Hoops are approximately 3cm in diameter.
About the artist: Disintegration Silver is in part a delight in setting things on fire and clawing them into being with lots of tools, and a way to connect with nature and the mortal world through shiny rocks, bones, and ephemera found on the ground. I love making new things to honour these finds and highlight all the special and interesting shapes nature creates through seasonal changes, death, heat, and pressure.
