Miranda Chambers / Mei Rojo

What's the minimum number of birds required for a flock? Does two count? Three? From the let's-say-flock of three to the rather large scale, these rings are a fresh take on the classic bird motif. Rings by UK metalsmith Miranda Chambers.

Bonus link: how about no birds, just feathers? Check out this pretty piece from Spain's Mei Rojo, who likes to mix metal with bits of bright colour.
