Our world is held in the arc of the sky, in the embrace of the wingéd spirits of the light. With these vintage-style earrings in a compound-crescent design, Wings honors the classic naja motif while giving it his own inimitable twist. Each giant hoop is formed of sterling silver, saw-cut in to a perfect medallion, then an internal series of embracing arcs saw-cut freehand out of its center, creating the appearance of wings held upward in an embrace, a naja pendant suspended from their meeting point, and in the negative space, a figurative being, arms similarly raised upward as though to hold earth and sky at once. The “wings” are joined together at their base by a single round cabochon of natural high-grade Sleeping Beauty turquoise, each tiny Skystone set into a plain low-profile bezel. Slender sterling silver jump rings fused to the top at the reverse hold sterling silver coil-and-ball-bead French wires. Earrings are 2″ across in all directions, excluding wires; turquoise cabochons are 1/4″ across (all dimensions approximate).
