5 out of 5 starsThese are truly lovely. Very high end and unique and rich look and I know I’ll wear them often. Thank you, Gale! I’ll miss you. Etsy’s loss most certainly. You are a true artisan with a willing ear and exemplary customer service.

5 out of 5 starsThese are just perfect for me. Great size and these are real turquoise stones. Very pretty color, too. More blue than some turquoise. Thanks, Gale. Fast shipping and great customer service. ❤️

5 out of 5 starsThese are so lovely. The stone is my favorite color, just large enough to balance the silver work. Subtle but the length gives them presence. Obviously the work of a true craftsman. Thank you, Gale!

5 out of 5 starsThese are delicate, unique earrings. They usually are made in copper, but Gale made me a custom order in silver. She has been wonderful to work with and filled this order very quickly. I highly recommend!

Welcome to Bantering Bird Jewelry! -
Inspiration....or distraction? -
There really is a bantering bird. -
Some recent additions to the shop.
A not-so-little bird tells me what should go into my jewelry designs.... Actually, we go back and forth about it quite a bit.

I wear all the hats and bang all the hammers: search for supplies, design, fabricate, photograph, communicate with customers, and ship their items next day! And oh, yeah...there's always time to banter with the bird.

Frequently asked questions
Gift wrapping and packaging
Your purchase will be attractively gift-boxed, and I'd be happy to add a special note if you are sending a gift to someone.
Multiple items are usually sent in a single, larger gift box to keep your shipping and handling charge lower. I can provide more than one gift box if requested, but this MAY require a shipping upgrade to Priority Mail (option available via the drop-down shipping menu), depending on the size of your order.
Sizing details
I am always happy to adjust my items to suit your preference if it is possible, generally for little or no extra charge. Need the earrings a bit longer or shorter? Not sure if that bracelet will fit the recipient? Need an extension on the necklace? I'll get back to you quickly--just use that contact button from within the listing.
Care instructions
Use a soft jeweler's cloth or polishing pad (not liquids) to keep silver, copper, or brass lustrous. Storing your jewelry in an ordinary plastic bag will slow the inevitable tarnishing of these metals, and it's always best to keep jewelry dry and chemical-free.
Some of my copper components are sealed to preserve a patina (as noted in item descriptions), but not all of them, as part of the charm of copper is that it darkens with age. Many individuals can wear copper without concern, but if your skin is particularly sensitive (i.e., turns green), I can arrange to seal your ear wires or suggest alternatives if contacted before a purchase. Niobium ear wires are one alternative for wearers with any kind of metal sensitivity and are available.
