"Bondi" is an Aboriginal word meaning "the sound of waves crashing against the rocks". The blue-green feathers lying amongst the sand-toned ones conjure up images of this ear cuff's popular namesake beach in Australia.


This one is a personal favorite, made while feeling wistful thinking of treasured friends over in the Land Down Under. 


And while also hankering for an extra-long, shoulder-dusting, super fluffy feather ear cuff. ;)

Each feather is sewn to the cuff base with sturdy nylon cord, which is then seared securely into place.

To maintain the shape of your feathers, only hold the cuff base when wearing and taking off the ear cuff. To wear, pinch both ends of the cuff. Loop the top part over your ear first. Hold it in place and adjust the flexible wire base until it secures comfortably against the back of your earlobe. To remove, simply pinch both ends and lift the cuff off your ear gently.

And voila! You're ready to take on the town and turn some heads!
