Even in a season of drought, hoarfrost on red willows arrives with every dawn, the water’s most consistence manifestation in winter. With this fourth and final necklace in his limited signature series, The Winter Elementals: Water, Wings honors the gift of the First Medicine in its crystalline form and its habit of beading the year-round medicine that lends people and place its name. At the center, crackling fire agate, as red as the bare stalks of the willow stands in this dormant season, are studded with segments of freeform discs of rainbow moonstone, shimmering and wildly refractive with light. Moving upward, the frost grays a bit in shadow, gray and marbled peach and gray moonstone rounds punctuated by gleaming sterling silver. The bead strand continues its gradual descent in size and deepening color gradient with marbled gray and blood-red Dolomite, rich lightweight rounds of polished red willow wood, a single dash of icy faceted aquamarine, and the dark wine-red of translucent cherry amber. Necklace hangs 22″ long, excluding findings (dimensions approximate). Designed jointly by Wings and Aji. Another view shown below. Necklace coordinates with Crystal Falls earrings and Snowdrift Across Cracked Ice coil bracelet. From the Water series in Wings’s new collection, The Winter Elementals (all pieces shown below).
