Cardinal on a Winter’s Day, Pearl & Ruby Bracelet

There are thousands of birds in the northeast. We have gulls, bluebirds, crows, pigeons. Ordinary people can identify any one of these four birds. After that, birding skills drop off rapidly, and all the rest become brown birds or tweety birds. There is, however, one bird everyone gets right, even kids – the Cardinal because it is red. The Cardinal is the bird that stops everyone because of its shocking color. The Cardinal stands in dramatic contrast to everything. In the brown world of early spring, the rich green of summer to the amber of fall, the Cardinal especially shows up in the winter against the purity of white snow.

When a Cardinal appears, everything stops. People stop talking, everyone stares. They watch in silence. They then follow the path of the bird. No one explains the special rules for this one bird. Everyone, though, reacts the same. We continue to watch until the bird has flown out of sight. Why is this a universal response? Because in the north, the Cardinal is the only red animal. It’s the only bird of this color, and everyone feels proud to be able to identify this bird instantly. Obviously, red is a color that stands out. It captures and holds our attention. No one can casually look away, and no one can ignore. The most dramatic season for a cardinal is winter, with a pure snow-white background.

Our Cardinal on a Winter Day Ruby and Pearl Bracelet have a similar attraction for attention. It’s Earth’s most precious gem, ruby, with a big white winter’s snow pearl strung on a wire bracelet. It has 14K yellow gold beads and a 14K yellow gold spring ring clasp and end ring.
