DIGBY & IONA RUFFLES FEATHERS




Photo: Digby & Iona
There was a moment mid-summer when it seemed that all possible plumage had been plucked in the name of beauty, with fishermen and PETA united for perhaps the first (and only) time.
If your attempts to get a feather extension were foiled—or you’d just rather not have a bird’s fringe bonded to your own tresses—there’s hope yet: Digby & Iona’s fall collection features three oxidized bronze and sterling silver necklaces, each with a dainty, be-feathered arrow. The plumage featured on these dainty arrows hail from the Blue Jay, the speckled Bantam, and the Cochlin (which is just a fancy term for a Chinese chicken).
If you’d prefer to keep your fowl references to just your Miu Miu dress, the new collection (dubbed “Me & My Arrow”) from the Maine-born, Brooklyn-based jewelry designer Aaron Ruff also includes a bow (as in the weapon, not the accessory) necklace and arrowhead-inspired rings, cuffs, and sapphire-studded necklace.
You’re not free from these flying animals entirely: To pick up a piece in-person, rather than online, you’ll have to visit Catbird boutique in New York.
