Los Angeles-based illustrator and graphic designer Veronica Rodrigues Lima's steadfast belief that "idle hands are the devil's playthings" often leads her to replace pencil/pen/paintbrush with a pair of pliers/an awl/a soldering gun.

Pair perpetually busy hands with a relentless knack for foraging and you get Feather + Dagger, the menage of tiny treasures you now behold.

All the charms in Feather + Dagger's collections are lovingly culled from flea markets, vintage stores, estate sales, craft bins et cetera, and carefully coupled with new hardware, resulting in pieces that feel both timely and timeless. The collection, while executed in antique metals, is softened with dainty lace, satin ribbons and lustrous beads, ultimately creating a look that is fierce, yet feminine, delicate, yet daring.
