Orca
The Orca, also known as the Killer Whale, is a highly intelligent, social mammal that inhabits all of the oceans of the world. Scientific studies have shown that Orca appear to teach behaviour patterns from generation to generation and that different pods have their own unique vocal dialects. Pods consist of closely knit members that hunt together and protect each other.
Orcas seem both beautiful and also frightening. I love watching them glide through the water and especially enjoy the final glimpse of their flukes as they dive down to the depths, what an exquisite departure.
This symbol is available on all handcrafted Winterchild Silver necklaces, earrings, and bracelets.
Winterchild Silver Collection
Creative Process
Jewellery designer, Esther Winter draws each original Winterchild symbol by hand. The symbol is then forged into a hardened steel stamp. Next, the stamp is hammered into the sterling silver to create an imprint. Final touches include curving the silver and polishing.
Handcrafted in the Yukon, Canada.
