Father Sun’s journey is one of circles and cycles, a motion of orbital resonances far longer than those of our own earth, yet capable of ensuring our world’s survival. With these earrings, Wings evokes that orbital path of the light, rising and falling via imagery infused with a distinctly traditional Art Deco sensibility. Each dangling drop is a simple tab earring, a long, slender rectangle saw-cut freehand, corners rounded and edges filed smooth. Borders are scored freehand down either side of each tab, and between line and edge, Wings has stamped a repeating pattern of wide-angled points, open-based triangles richly textured and chased deeply into the silver, one side ascending with the dawn, the other embodying dusk’s descent. The center part of each tab is hammered by hand using a small divot-end stamp, a rippling, shimmering daytime sky filled with silvery light. Tiny sterling silver jump rings are soldered to the top center of each earring, and are threaded with sterling silver coil-and-ball-bead French wires. Earrings hang 1-1/4″ long, excluding wires, by 9/16″ wide (dimensions approximate).
