The right kind of compliment (“I loooove that hobo!”) can set your spirits soaring. The wrong sort of copycat (“Mine’s from Claire’s! We’re practically twins!”) can send you off the handle.

Good thing that Susannah Cox’s custom Flash Flash and Feathers jewelry pieces are as unique as you are.

Meet the Poncey-Highland designer for a coffee consult to collaborate on your design. Cox matches clients’ tastes to the rainbow collection of bird feathers she keeps at her home studio. We fell hard for a cluster of shocking pink turkey plumes on a short gold rope necklace. (Next to those, even peacock quills pale in comparison.)

Cox strings pieces onto sturdy chokers and wispy, dangling lariats, then mixes things up with hand-painted crystal shards, spears, and prisms collected from her family’s antique chandeliers, before delivering the final item to your door.

Copy that.
