Product Description

Crafted from genuine aircraft fuselage skin, this unique piece of jewelry carries the story of flight in every detail. The material is hand-cut directly from the body of a retired commercial aircraft, then expertly laser-cut into shape here in the UK to create a one-of-a-kind accessory.

Each piece reveals its own section of original paint, surface patina, or can be optionally polished to a smooth, mirror-like finish — making no two items the same. Whether you prefer a raw, industrial look or a refined shine, this jewelry captures authentic aviation character.
