What Makes It Uncommon

A mama bird watching over her egg is one of nature's most tender sights—and these earrings capture that heart-tugging moment in charming fashion. Handcrafted by Susan Forker in her Bucks County barn studio, these earrings are a little wink to nature lovers, new moms, and anyone feeling just a bit sentimental. Each bird is a bright turquoise pop of Czech glass guarding a miniature "egg" made from repurposed vintage book pages. The colorful pair feels like a story waiting to be told—with a swingy, joyful flair that dances right alongside the wearer.

  • Features left- and right-facing Czech glass birds in a bright turquoise hue.
  • "Egg" pendant crafted from repurposed vintage book pages—no scans, only authentic flea market finds—layered under a jewelry-grade resin dome for magnification and protection, then nestled in a sterling silver–plated bezel.
  • Silver-plated leverbacks offer secure comfort. Nickel-free for sensitive skin.
  • Approximate 1½" drop.
  • Handmade in Pennsylvania.
