I've been trying to get these up for two days now, but maybe it's better that I couldn't (although the constant derailments have certainly been unwelcome in the process). Because it now seems like a really good thing to have new work by Wings to close out the year: Three Bands of Light, and if there's a better, more necessary metaphor now, I don't know what it would be, because here, at least? Things are very dark, and are going to remain so for a long time.
These are small, simple bracelets, slender cuffs, each other 6" long, each with a hammered outer surface and its own unique pair of stamps, one on each end of the inner band. All represent light in some form. These are stackable, and I should've gotten a shot of them on my own arm, but that whole time-and-derailments thing . . . . Each is sold separately, but they work as a set, too, Eighteen-gauge silver, nice and solid and substantial, but even stacked together, they won't weigh down your arm.
The first, shown above, is An Interstellar Glow, with a Guiding Star motif in the inner band. You can read its description here.
The second, above, is A Stardust Shimmer, anchored on the inner band by a pair of simple five-pointed stars. You can read its description here.
The third, just above, is A Sunrise Radiance, with a rising-sun symbol at each end f the inner band. You can read its description here.
Wings's main page is here. Inquiries via the site's Contact form. We have made a grand total of four sales this holiday season, and in an economy wrecked by this pandemic, which is also about to get a whole lot worse here? That's not going to cover it at the best of times. Unfortunately for us, January always brings a flurry of large once-yearly expenses that need to be covered, and this year, it's unusually high (natch); between those, our regular bills and expenses, and taking care of the pups' surgeries, it's going to be upwards of 3 grand, and we have a grand total of $25 available in the bank right now. Meanwhile, the pandemic rages unchecked, the economy is dead, we have a long winter to come to get through, and none of those is going anywhere. I really need to sell these, and another grand-plus of silverwork besides.
