Birds flying with the wings in the sky does not only exist in many people's dreams, but also be given with mythical figures with respect. The birds thus are usually given with many representations and spirits. Comparing to other natural beings, we have more imaginations on birds. Besides, because of the flying ability which can deliver messages quickly, we can also easily find the topics of birds with the image of bringing blessing in different cultures around the world. To begin with, this research collects and reviews the literatures to investigate the implications which have been given to or transformed from birds in human societies. Then, this research studies the structures of the wings of birds to extract the beautiful lines and curves. Finally, with psychology of art, this paper analyzes the emotions for creation to figure out the logic in the ideas. The shapes of wings and the images are transformed into the insights of the jewelry with the summary of the data and the practice of the creation of the metal media. The creations are based on birds' images of delivering messages and bringing good lucks with the extraction of the features of the wings. With the most prominent flying equipment of birds - the wings, the creations carry the remembrance and blessing of the artist to people she cares. The creations are designed with the hardness of the metals and jewels, together with the soft lines of acrylic materials and the colors of cashew lacquer, to show a purer strength different from traditional jewelry. The works not only express one's remembrance to another but also the sincere voice of the artist's self-emotions toward the creations of metals.
