Exceptional Artistry
The feather symbol is very meaningful among American Indian tribes, and Lena Platero is well-known for her striking, realistic feather designs. In particular, her silver feather with a 12k gold accent on the quills is instantly recognizable. Some of her other pieces feature stunning, genuine gemstone accents such as malachite, onyx, opal, turquoise, and spiny oyster shell. Rest assured that our Lena Platero jewelry always uses 100% genuine, high-quality materials.
The Power of Feathers
For Native Americans, feathers symbolize much more than just a part of a bird; they stand for trust, honor, strength, and freedom. Many Native American tribes believe that birds have a special connection with heaven, since they fly so close to the sun, and consider it a great gift when they receive feathers. Golden or Bald Eagle feathers are especially revered, as they fly the highest of all other birds.
