This Personal Silver Feather Chain is patiently collected by our Melbourne Staff -- Vito, as he shares:
"Years ago, when I first started working at CORLECTION, customers would often ask me how feather pendants from different brands would look when worn together. To be honest, I had the same question myself.
That curiosity led me to start collecting feather pendants from different makers, experimenting with mixing them to create something truly unique and personal. What began as a simple curiosity gradually turned into a journey of discovery—and over the past eight years, I've gained a deep appreciation for how each brand's craftsmanship, design philosophy, and character can complement one another."
"My very first feather pendant was the First Arrows Large Eagle Claw Feather Pendant with an 18K Gold Sunburst—a special limited edition created exclusively for CORLECTION.
After wearing it for eight years, I've watched the 950 silver develop a beautiful patina, transforming from an almost white-gold appearance into a rich, darker tone. As the silver aged, the hand-engraved feather fibres gradually became more pronounced, revealing an incredible depth and character that wasn't as noticeable when it was brand new. It's one of those magical qualities that only time and wear can create."
" The second piece I added was the First Arrows Small "Cloudy" Feather Pendant, another special limited edition created exclusively for CORLECTION. I absolutely love how this smaller feather complements the large Eagle Claw Feather Pendant. The contrast in size creates a balanced composition, while both pieces have developed their own beautiful patina over the years."
" The third piece I added was Legend's Small Feather Pendant. I wanted to introduce a feather from a different maker that would complement my First Arrows pendants while creating a slightly asymmetrical arrangement. Crafted from Legend's specially developed 925 silver, this feather has a distinctly different ageing character. Compared to the brighter tone of First Arrows' 950 silver, Legend's silver develops a deeper, more vintage-looking patina over time."
" This is probably the most unique piece in my collection. It's an old Goro's 'Blessing Leaf' Pendant, and I've been searching for one for over eight years. It originally belonged to one of our customers, who purchased it at Goro's workshop around 20 years ago. If I remember correctly, we became friends in 2023, and one day he asked if I'd like to own it at a very fair price. Without a second thought, I thanked him and paid for it within a minute—LOL!
To give it an even more distinctive look, I later added a Mini Thunderbird Pendant from First Arrow's, alongside the Goro's 'Blessing Leaf' pendant. I love how the two pieces complement each other, creating a combination that feels both unique and full of character. I think the result turned out pretty special."
"Of course, once you've found a collection of feather pendants that truly speaks to you, you also need the right chain to bring everything together. For me, that's the First Arrows Size Small Silver Chain with Medicine Wheel. It has faithfully accompanied me for more than eight years, carrying not only my pendants, but also countless memories along the way.
As I look at this personal silver feather necklace today, I realise words are simply not enough to express how grateful I am for the passion, craftsmanship, and dedication that each of these brands has poured into their creations. Every piece has aged alongside me, becoming more beautiful with every passing year.
I sincerely hope that one day, I'll be able to pass this necklace on to my children—or perhaps even my grandchildren. By then, it won't just be a collection of silver pendants. It will carry my own journey, my memories, and the stories of a LIFETIME."
