Chinese kingfisher jewelry, known as tian-tsui or diancui (点翠), is a traditional art form where brilliant electric-blue feathers from kingfisher birds are carefully cut and glued onto gilded silver or bronze metal frames. Practiced for over 2,000 years, these shimmering pieces were worn as high-status hairpins, headdresses, and court jewelry primarily during the Ming and Qing dynasties. The earrings feature intricately designed drops with blue feathers from Kingfisher birds, set in silver. They are roughly 2 inches long. They exhibit some feather loss consistent with their age but are otherwise in excellent condition.
