Two Extraordinary New Vintage-Style Works by Wings

I promised something new earlier today, and I'm making good on it now: two extraordinary new vintage-style works by Wings. Both a simple, slender, solid sterling silver cuffs, no stones or other extraneous adornment. Both feature impossible deep, clean, even stampwork in repeating patterns — so deep, in fact, that it displaces the silver to create lightly rippling edges. Both are left lightly textured and even more lightly buffed, so the glow with an light as old as the techniques used to create them.

The first is called Between Each Sunrise, so named for its alternating parting-clouds-and-rising-sun motifs and the clean expanses of silver that separate them. You can read the full description here.

I love them both, but the second is my personal favorite — a smaller band fr a smaller wrist like mine, and a phenomenal old-style Indigenous stampwork pattern:

This one is called The Beat of a Butterfly's Wings, named for the spirit we both saw in it instantly once completed. You can read the full description here.


Wings's main page is here. Inquiries via the site's Contact formAs the pandemic rages unchecked and the economy remains dead, we have a long winter to get through, too. We still need to make consistent sales to make it through the whole winter (one that has already been bitter indeed for our communities) and the rest of the year, so shares of the site links are much appreciated. Selling these would be a good start.
