Photo Jewelry Bird lover gifts - Bird Pin /Brooches

Isn't this little Cockatiel a cutie? His photo becomes part of a large, domed, white mountain jade cabochon, framed with intricate, filigree, plated in silver.

Atop a delicate filigree frame is a single row of bead chain encircling the cabochon. At the top left side (right in photo) Bali bead flower with copper bead center sits between two metal leaves. Your brooch is made just for you when you order never pulled from a shelf which makes it your very own custom piece. This is a very large pin and it is sometimes helpful to refer to a ruler to clarify size preference.

The filigree frame is plated, stamped brass. The lightweight frame counter-balances the heavier stone. The pen measures almost 2 inches across. The picture area is 38mm. Stainless pin back (1 1/4") is placed horizontal to makes attachment easy.

Is this a gift? Add a pre-wrapped foil gift box with bow and white velveteen inserts. Earrings are available to complement the piece.

• The native homeland of cockatiels is Australia but in 1894Australia banned exportation of all native birds so the pet cockatiels we have today are bred domestically.

• Try to purchase a hand-fed baby or a young bird when possible. Hand-fed chicks are already hand tame so you won't have as much training and socializing. A weaned chick will bond easily to its new owner as soon as it is comfortable in its new surroundings.
