Give yourself a little added horsepower with the help of these four small horses, the four elements whirling together in a hoop: Earth, Air, Fire, Water, all racing in a spiraling vortex of power. Wings creates the hoop from memory wire, coiled into four strands to expand and contract with the power of the storm. The wire is strung with handmade African nickel beads, tiny rondels at either end, with paper-thin barrel beads strung between. At regular intervals, a horse appears, each a small carved fetish carrying an elemental spirit: Earth in the form of golden-brown tiger’s eye; Air in cloud-like white magnesite with a soft wispy gray matrix; Fire as goldstone, a bit of alchemy in coppery red; and Water as turquoise, the Skystone that holds the rain itself. Ideal for a young wearer, and/or for those who love horses. Joint design by Wings and Aji. Another view shown below.

* Note: The lower price of this coil bracelet reflects the significantly lower value of the materials used. Nickel silver is a copper alloy containing nickel and zinc, but no silver. Goldstone is a man-made material; the turquoise fetish is stabilized, at a minimum, and likely dyed. The magnesite and tiger’s eye may or may not be dyed.
