It doesn't always have to be a turkey! Ever thought of a parrot?

Parrots have featured in human writings, stories, art, humour, religion, and music for thousands of years. From the Roman poet Ovid's "The Dead Parrot" to Monty Python's Dead Parrot Sketch millennia later, parrots have existed in the consciousness of many cultures and have also been a source of inspiration for goldsmiths and jewellers all over the world.

And although not hallmarked, just by the quality of the craftsmanship, we believe this bejewelled birdie to be made by (or for) one of the better Haute Joaillerie Houses (high-class jewellers) in France or Belgium.
