Between sun and clouds, above a world in flower, is the glowing expanse of a silver sky. Wings brings together storm and light and lines of growing medicine with these classic earrings that meld traditional slab and concha styles in a work of motion and depth. These dancing drops begins as perfectly saw-cut rectangles of solid eighteen-gauge sterling silver, filed smooth on all sides and with a single organic ring tab at the top center of each. Thunderhead symbols, stamped freehand, chase and conjoin down the center, creating compound motifs associated with rain and the winds and the sacred directions, their open bases at either end abutting gentler clouds beneath a radiant sun. Each set of rays is flanked by a triptych of stalks that evoke the image of plant spirits in flower. This same pattern is chased down either edge of each earring, forming a border of medicine beneath a vaulted silver sky, the curvature created through gentle shaping, repoussé-fashion, from the reverse. Each dangles from sterling silver earring wires strung through the upper tab rings. Earrings hang 1.5″ long (excluding wires) by .75″ across (dimensions approximate).
