The gift of the Water Bird is a blessing beyond price. Wings calls together the elements of its path with these earrings, long, tall triangles in a tipi shape, scored freehand on all sides with a chisel to create a border. Gracefully flowing symbols trace the bottom and sides, a mix of water and smoke spiraling upward from which the Water Bird rises, visible near the top on both sides and at the apex, a repeating stampwork pattern manifest with a sense of motion and flight. Near the bottom at the center of each rests a single freeform natural turquoise cabochon, imperfect ovals like drops of rain, both in the shades of seafoam and robin’s eggs touched here and there with a delicate golden-colored matrix and rusty copper webbing. Dangling drops are suspended from sterling silver earrings wires held fast by silver jump rings. Earrings hang 2-1/4″ long by 1″ to 1-1/8″ across at the widest point; freeform cabochons are 3/4″ long by 7/16″ to 1/2″ across at the widest point (dimensions approximate).
Sterling silver; natural blue-green American turquoise, probably from Colorado’s Cripple Creek
