Western folklore and Pop Culture associates the owl with wisdom and knowledge – for good reason. Found on six of the seven continents (all except Antarctica), with more than 250 different species, the owl has a keen intellect that fuels their strategic approach to hunting.
The elf owl is the smallest, measuring just 5-6 inches and weighing a mere 1.5 ounces. The North American owl is the largest in stature and can grow to be thirty-two inches tall! No matter their size, the one thing that all owls have in common are their superior hunting skills – they even hunt other owls.
These feathered friends have zygodactyl feet with two forward facing toes and two backward facing toes. The fourth toe can be rotated forward to provide a better grip. This is why owls are often depicted on a branch with three toes in the front and one in the back…. like this guy.
This Mid Century Modern brooch was crafted by the legendary Tiffany & Co. Intricately sculpted from 18-karat yellow gold, this charming fellow features a sapphire-encrusted head. Round and deep blue, these sapphires have a combined weight of .70 carat. A pair of bright diamonds mark the eyes and offer .12 carat of sparkle. Every other detail of this beautiful bird – from the tip of his beak to the end of his tail – was accomplished by carving and etching the gold.
Sure to attract even the savviest of buyers, this beauty is suited to any wardrobe. Unisex in nature, this brooch will add a touch of class to the lapel of a suit, the band of a fedora or the hip placket of a sleek pencil skirt. Priced at just $3000 – there’s no question that this handsome fellow is worth hooting over! Check him out on our site or in our showroom today.
