Wings has reconceived an old traditional style in a way that links earth and water and sky: conchas (shells) adorned by their own shell accents. Two oval medallions in the shape of old-fashioned conchas form the body of the earrings. Hand-stamped traditional symbols arc across the top of each to form a sunrise, at the center of which rests an Eye of Spirit, symbol of wisdom and guidance, visions and dreams. Beneath the Eye sits a square garnet cabochon, the deep red of early dawn, seated above a Morning Star on its descent beneath the dawn sky. The celestial symbols cascade toward the lower arc of the earrings, the tip of which are hand-cut, ajouré-fashion, and hand-stamped to form tiny shells held within the body of the earring, opening onto the new day. Wires are made by hand with ingot tips stamped in a blossoming flower pattern, inserted through a tiny hole in the top of each earring. Earrings hand 1-5/8″ long (excluding wires) by 1-3/16″ across at the widest point; garnet cabochons are .25″ across (dimensions approximate).
