Whether dawn or dusk, the winter air and sky combine to birth an otherworldly alpine twilight. Wings draws down all the colors of the cold and quiet hours into a gradient of violet blues that appear only at this time of year. At the center, a single round orb of white quartz rutilated with needles of jet-colored schorl is flanked by a pair of bold freeform barrels of mysterious iolite, a perfect translucent violet blue webbed with shimmering shades of gold and white, like ice limned by the low-angled sun. Rainbow moonstone orbs and faceted rondels pair with smaller selenite, extending upward into two segments of bold but delicate lepidolite in the perfect lilac shade of the eastern sky at sunset. Rainbow moonstone rondels and another pair of iolite barrels serve as separators and accents; the rest of the necklace flows upward into the blues of night — ultra-high-grade cobalt kyanite, polished dumortierite, and matte dumortierite nuggets separated by Indonesian silver barrels. Small sterling silver rounds anchor either end; findings are also sterling silver. Necklace hangs 23″ long, excluding findings (dimensions approximate). Designed jointly by Wings and Aji. Another view shown below. Necklace coordinates with Below Zero earrings and The North Wind coil bracelet. From the Air series in Wings’s new collection, The Winter Elementals (all pieces shown below).
