In this alpine desert land, where the rivers meet is a place of medicine. With these earrings, Wings honors this great gift of this place even as he summons the beauty of their brilliant blues framed by rich earth and silvered light. Each dangling drop is formed around an oval cabochon of ribbon [boulder] turquoise, light earthy browns veined with deeper hues and bisected by a sky-blue river of nearly opalescent turquoise. The matched cabochons are drawn from the same earth, each ribbon lifting upward at the inner end as though to meet in the middle. Each is set into a plain, low-profile bezel on a lightly flanged backing to hold the twisted silver that frames each stone so beautifully. Each hangs from a sterling silver jump ring fused securely to reverse at top center, the rings threaded with sterling silver coil-and-ball-bead earring wires. Earrings hang 1-1/8″ long including bails (excluding wires); bezels are 1″ long by 5/8″ across at the widest point; cabochons are 7/8″ long by 1/2″ across at the widest point (dimensions approximate).
Sterling silver; ribbon [boulder] turquoise, likely Kingman
