Burnished hummingbird beak shapes capture movement, invoking the abstracted bird’s heads within the framework of Brutalist geometry–leading the eye down into the verdant green tones of the patina, like a building being engulfed by nature.

When I started carving this cuff, I had something architectural in mind, but I soon noticed that the forms resembled hummingbird heads, so I let that lead me. My muse was a tiny hummingbird visiting our deck to torment my cats and feast on the blooming succulents. It seemed to delight in discovering this secret deck garden bursting with sweet blooms to sample.

Watching it drink from each tiny flower, I recalled a paper I read years ago on a study of the nectar-transport mechanics in hummingbird tongues. Nectarivores use their tongues as their primary food-gathering tool, and the physics behind these complex and highly evolved feeding mechanisms is fascinating. I decided to let that paper inform some of the cuff design. The carved "mustache" shape at the base of each beak is what the cross-section of the cylindrical tongue grooves looks like. You can read more about this nectar-trapping mechanism in the paper here.

Striking and unusual, the cuff is prominent in scale without being heavy. It's incredibly comfortable for such a statement piece. A few clients wear one on each wrist. The piece has a silky brushed finish, and the "beaks" are polished to a bright, mirror finish. This piece will age beautifully over time and is sure to be treasured. It is an ode to nature and the hummingbird, a powerful little pollinator.

Also available in yellow bronze.
