I've been promising this for a few days now, and it's finally here: Wings's newest set of gemstone bead jewelry. The fourth and final grouping of this part of his newest collection, this is The Autumn Elementals:  Water. As with the other three, it consists of three works, necklace, earrings, and coil bracelet, all clearly related in substance and spirit, but all capable of standing on their own and accordingly sold separately.

First up is the necklace:

This is called A Hard Frost, emblematic of the fact that, with one or two rare exceptions, it's usually the only form of water we see in the fall here. You really do want to click through and see the photos of all three works, because they're incredible, but the focals on this one? Fabulously oversized freeform barrels of ultra-high-grade iolite, deep violet and midnight blues, translucent and webbed with icy marbling white. From there it's an upward gradient of frosty blues and whites and silver with fiery foliage shades and earthy browns and greens underpinning it all. You can read its full description here.

Next is the pair of earrings:

These are called First Snow, and they're so simple and yet so amazing. I love the flat tops, like snow spreading over the land in a blanket, followed by a gradient of shade and size in orbs and rondels: rainbow moonstone, aquamarine and sterling silver; some of the most incredible kyanite you've ever seen; Dolomite and African jade. You can read their full description here.

And third and finally, but not remotely least, is the coil bracelet:

This one is perfect for this night, even if our weather this day has been only clouds, no rain. This is A Rain of Spirits, and it's a whirling mix of mysterious colors and materials, like the storm whispering through the eddying leaves at night. This one is a mix of gray and rainbow and fabulous black moonstone, kyanite in two shades, indigo and cobalt; blood-red Dolomite, icy aquamarine, and shimmering sterling silver as accents. You can read the full description here, and as with the other two works, be sure to click through and scroll through all the images.

As with the other three informal sets in this collection, they're priced a bit higher than the norm. That's a function purely of the materials used; all of these beads are imported, all ultra-high-grade specimens, all much higher even at cost than usual. These are extraordinary jewels, and worth every penny and more.

You can order any of these works (or all! they really do belong together as a set, even though they're sold individually), via the site's Contact form. Our full current inventory begins with Wings's main page here. And we URGENTLY need to make consistent sales to cover upcoming new medical costs and other expenses and make it through the rest of this terrible second pandemic-ridden year (one that has already been bitter indeed for our communities), so shares of the site links are much appreciated.
