The nights when autumn dances with the chill of early dark is the season of the Little Winter moons, an ethereal drift of magical light across a cold clear sky. With these earrings, Wings honors the shimmering orbs that light the first fall of the small snow, large and close and whispering of the real winter to come. Each dangling drop is saw-cut freehand of sterling silver in an old traditional form that evokes both rays of cold light and the Eyes of Spirit that watch over our world. Top and bottom are scored, stamped, and scalloped freehand in a radiant pattern adorned with tiny hoops. At center, a pair of stamped half moons embrace the icy otherworldly glow of round gray moonstones, their chatoyance catching and refracting external light. Hand-drilled organic tabs at the top hold them suspended from sterling silver coil-and-ball-bead French wires. Earrings are 2″ long excluding wires, and 1″ across at the widest point; cabochons are 3/8″ across (all dimensions approximate).
