Peafowl
Eleven Colors of Iridescence
Our peacock collection spans eleven colors of iridescence — some so rare they are nearly impossible to source. Each hue is a separate jewel. Peafowl originated in South and Southeast Asia and Central Africa, with wild populations dating back millions of years. The Indian Peafowl comes from India and Sri Lanka, the Green Peafowl from Southeast Asia, and the Congo Peafowl from the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
