The first blues are the blues that link water and sky, of the waning moments of a moonlit night and the illuminating dawn of a new day. With this cuff, Wings summons the celestial shades and medicinal hues to the circle to take up their place between a pair of watchful Spirit’s Eyes. Wrought of heavy nine-gauge sterling silver, the slender traditional-style band is kept spare and simple on the top, each diamond-shaped, elongated Eye of Spirit cut freehand and overlaid carefully at either side, embracing a beautifully-marbled square cabochon of teal blue spiderweb turquoise flanked by smaller squares of cobalt blue lapis lazuli. Alternating crescent-moon patterns ebb and flow like the tides on either filament-thin edge of the band. The inner band is a masterpiece of complex freehand scorework and stampwork, crescent moons and flowing water motifs making the tidal links explicit. Cuff is 6″ long by 3/8″ wide; Eye of Spirit overlays are 1-3/4″ long by 3/8″ high; turquoise cabochon is 3/” square; lapis cabochons are 1/4″ square (all dimensions approximate).
