The bail is currently large enough to acommodate up to a 2mm chain or bead necklace but can be enlarged if requested. It has a light weight and easy to wear.
Feather design: The eagle is the strongest and bravest of all birds. For this reason, Native Americans have chosen the eagle and its feathers as a symbol of what is highest, bravest, strongest, and holiest. In the Native American culture, eagle feathers are given to another in honor, and the feathers are worn with dignity and pride.
