Miniature Bird Decorative Stud

This item is a decorative stud ornament, likely an earring or a specialized clothing fastener, crafted in the shape of a bird in flight. Based on its silhouette and forked tail, it appears to represent a swallow or swift. The piece is diminutive in scale, likely measuring under 10mm in width. It is constructed from a dark-toned metallic material, showing a deep gunmetal or oxidized silver finish that highlights the textured details on the wings. The craftsmanship features decorative scoring on the wing surfaces to simulate feathering, which adds visual depth to the small-scale casting. The metal displays a heavy patina or intentional antiquing that has settled into the recessed areas, creating high contrast against the polished edges of the bird's form. In terms of condition, the piece appears structurally sound with no visible fractures or missing limbs, though the surface shows light micro-scratching consistent with handling. There are no clearly visible maker’s marks or hallmark stamps in this view, suggesting it may be a mass-produced fashion component or contemporary costume jewelry item rather than high-end artisan silver. It reflects a whimsical, nature-inspired style popular in modern bohemian or vintage-revival jewelry trends.
