In high desert elevations, the the greatest gift is the rain in flower, its petals returning a thirsty earth to its full blossoming beauty. In this time of deepening drought, Wings summons the image and spirit of rain and flower together in a pair of earrings that also pay tribute to the third of the traditional Three Sisters. Each dangling drop is built around an extraordinary cabochon of high-grade lapis lazuli, highly domed, sharply tipped polished to a glossy finish and infused with stormy cobalt blue traced with shimmering filaments of pyrite matrix. Each is set into a scalloped bezel and trimmed with twisted silver, no other adornment needed. A single sterling silver squash blossom, fully three-dimensional, dances gently from the rounded base of each bezel by way of a sterling silver jump ring; smaller rings extending organically from the bezels’ upper tips link them to sterling silver earring wires. Earrings hang 2.5″ long, excluding wires; focal bezels are 1.5″ long by 5/8″ across at the widest point; teardrop cabochons are 1.5″ long by 1/4″ across at the widest point; squash blossom pendants are 1/4″ long.
