At each end of the storm is a world of sun and light. With this cuff, Wings calls sunrise and sunset to the dance with the midday storm and the sacred directions. The spare, slender band is wrought of solid fourteen-gauge sterling silver, substantial but not heavy. Its entire outer surface chased with traditional thunderhead symbols conjoined at their open bases, melding together motifs of abundance with those of sacred space, all of the stampwork so deep and regular that it displaces the silver at the sides slightly into an elegant, faintly rippling edge. At either end, the band’s are rounded by hand and filed smooth, then stamped with a single radiant sun symbol, equally deep, even, and sharply defined. On the inner band at either end rests an eight-pointed star in the shape of a mariner’s compass, a little secret link between the wearer and the sacred directions that appear in more classic fashion on the outer band. The stampwork is oxidized thoroughly, then the whole polished to a mirror-like finish. Cuff is 6″ long by 3/8 wide (dimensions approximate). Other views shown below.
