Hummingbird Brooch 01 |
|||
| The humming bird is always a favorite garden visitor. This brooch features
the photo of a Ruby Throated Hummingbird sipping nectar from purple/pink flowers. The translucent hummingbird image sits atop a cameostone
with an ivory-opal glaze that glows up through it creating an almost holographic effect. Colors seem to turn metallic and the ivory background
appears much like opal when tilted in refracted light. The cabochon is framed in mauve and silver bead chain, atop ornate silver plated filigree pieces. The colors in the photo are echoed with glass pearls and fine Czech crystals of green, pink and clear. Sesame Jasper gemstones and silver plated dangles finish the piece. A 1 1/4 “ long, silver-plated pin back makes attachment easy. See Tips and Tricks section on ways to convert this brooch for other uses. Brooch Measures aprx. 1 3/4” X 3”. |

Facts about Hummingbirds |
• Hummingbirds found only in the Americas, with 343 species, make up the Western Hemisphere's second largest family of birds. • Hummingbird's hearts beat up to 1,260 beats per minute and they may visit 1,000 flower per day. • Hummingbirds are 30% flight muscles.They have the fastest wing beats of any bird with an average flight speed of 25-30 mph and can dive up to 60 mph. • A hummingbird can rotate each of its wings in a circle, allowing them to be the only bird which can fly forwards, backwards, up, down, sideways or sit in sheer space. To hover, hummingbirds move their wings forward and backward in a repeated figure eight, much like the arms of a swimmer treading water. Hummingbirds can move instantaneously in any direction, start from its perch at full speed, and doesn't necessarily slow up to land. Hummingbirds can even fly short distances upside down, a trick rollover they employ when being attacked by another bird. • Many ruby-throats make a 2,000 mile journey between Canada and Panama. The trip includes a non-stop, 500 mile flight over the Gulf of Mexico. |
