Summer’s end is the season of sunlit rain, of cloud-webbed turquoise skies and golden light filtered through the drops. With these earrings, Wings pairs Skystone and citrine to invoke the illuminating power and medicine of the last of the monsoons. Each dangling drop is formed of a triangular cabochon of richly-hued turquoise, likely from Arizona’s Turquoise Mountain, each a graceful blend of sky blues and emerald greens, infused with shimmer gold- and bronze-colored matrix. Each sits in a scalloped bezel trimmed with twisted silver, poised above three round citrine cabochons — translucent like the rain, glowing like tiny suns. The backing for the citrine cabochons and the bails through which the jump rings at the top attach all extend organically from a single piece of silver, cut and filed entirely freehand; the drops dance from sterling silver wires. Earrings are 1.5″ long by 3/4″ to a 7/8″ across at the widest point; citrine cabochons are 3/16″ across (dimensions approximate).
Sterling silver; natural blue-green American turquoise (likely Turquoise Mountain); citrine
