The long light days of summer here are spent in the presence of a wild earth medicine, upon rolling meadows of wildflowers and amid the red willows rustling in the wind. With this coil bracelet, Wings calls to the circle all the shades of stalk and petal, of the rippling greens and the red of the lush stands that lend people and place their name. Each end is anchored with a short segment of diamond-cut sterling silver rounds that catch the light like the season’s raindrops. Freeform nuggets of cherry amber of Ethiopian silver faceted barrels trade space leading to a length of glossy maroon rounds of red willow wood. Impression jasper in the pinks and blues of coneflowers and columbine, bright jade chrysoprase barrels, and yellow opal doughnut rondels as bright as the wild sunflowers flow inward toward segments of golden Pietersite like small marbled suns, earthy Red Creek jasper in all the shades of adobe clay, and chatoyant kyanite rounds in the color of prairie cornflowers. At the center, a pair of extraordinary giant spheres of blue spiderweb turquoise, flanked by ultra-high-grade raindrop rondels of aquamarine, embrace a pair of phenomenal puffed rondels of Columbia jade bisected by more yellow opal, all the colors of the Three Sisters and their wildflower cousins in a single radiant spiral. Bracelet consists of four full coils of beads strung on memory wire, which expands and contracts to fit nearly any wrist. Designed jointly by Wings and Aji. Another view shown below. Coil bracelet coordinates with Where the Blue Corn Grows necklace and From the Richest Clay earrings. From the Earth series in Wings’s new collection, The Summer Elementals (all pieces shown below).
