The feather: a timeless symbol for lightness and freedom

Discover enchanting pieces of jewellery that will bring you luck in your everyday life.

30.06.2022

Feathers are considered lucky charms by most people and are a symbol of freedom, lightness and inspiration. As pieces of jewellery, they give us a carefree feeling, especially in summer, and symbolise a childlike way of taking life more lightly. They convey words of wisdom, like "It doesn't have to be complicated", and many more.

Strength is born of calmness 

Pause for a moment, take a deep breath, ground yourself and arrive in the here and now. Far too often in everyday life, we forget to take time for ourselves, that we are allowed to let go of stress and tension and that we don't always have to do everything at once. With the feather as your talisman, you will gain a special power – finding peace and tranquillity within yourself. No matter what is happening around you at any given time, stay in the moment and respond to life's circumstances in a lighter way, as light as a feather. Flexibility is the magic word, just like a feather carried on the wind.

How to wear feather jewellery 

This is one of the reasons why feathers are seen in all kinds of jewellery. They represent a breath of fresh air, a creative free spirit and a haven of peace all in one. A feather has as many meanings as it does possibilities for wearing it as jewellery. For a clean look, perhaps create a focus with statement earrings or chain pendants in classic silver. If you'd like to have a feather with you every day, try pairing it as a charm with other pieces of jewellery. Depending on the design, the feather sometimes looks like an angel's wing, which is an especially strong protective symbol, making it a very popular talisman.

You can also wear a feather in an area where you'd like to feel lighter. Wearing one on your ear can help you let go of heavy or repetitive thoughts and calm your mind when taking in new information. As a pendant on a necklace, it can lighten your heart, or wear it on your finger or arm for a gentle, conscious approach to life.

Feather jewellery and the boho look 

Swirling dresses, crazy patterns and natural materials – the boho look brings together all the treasures given to us by Mother Earth, which naturally includes the feather. We love the feeling of effortlessness that this style brings with it. When combined with beads, leather bands and charms, feather motifs radiate an easy, breezy air that harks back to dreamcatchers. They express creativity and our connection to nature. For a true statement piece, choose from classic pieces in silver or ornate jewellery with colourful stones. And even if it's hard to decide, always remember: It doesn't have to be complicated. Life can be easy.
