The wingéd ones embody the very essence of summer, of the joy in and freedom of play upon the warm winds. Here, two spirits close to our hearts, Crane and Dragonfly, dance amidst the flowers upon the silvery summer light. Two slender sterling silver slabs form the body of these earrings, lightweight rectangular dangling drops with a bit of the feel of the art of our East Asian relations. The summer spirits are carved out of the silver by hand via delicate, finely detailed ajouré cutwork performed with a tiny jeweler’s saw. At Crane’s feet lie bits of plant material from her natural habitat, while Dragonfly heads straight for an open flower. Earrings are 1.25 inches long (excluding bails and wires) by a half-inch wide (dimensions approximate).
