An all-new cuff by Wings.

Yes, I promised a new work earlier today. I didn't intend for it to be this late, but it's been extremely busy here all day, and this is the first chance I've had to get the description written and so forth. Still, I've managed to get it posted today, so that's a plus: an all-new cuff by Wings.

This one is very simple, classic, slightly vintage-style in its design and execution:

It's also less expensive than most of his cuffs, despite the seven stones on its surface. That's because it's a little more lightweight, eighteen-gauge sterling silver instead of heavier 14-, 12-, or 9-gauge, and also because the stones themselves are less costly than most of what he normally uses. It's a beautiful piece, though, manifest as a reminder of an important lesson about perspective. This is The View From the Mountaintop, and the description explains why it's important to keep it in mind.

The cuff is set with a center cabochon of Sleeping Beauty turquosie, flanked on either side by three malachite cabochons (7 stones total). The ends of the band feature gorgeously simple freehand vintage-style stampwork, and the inner band is a marvel: two sets of repeating crescents as borders, with a layered flowering-medicine motif chased all down the center, a little secret for the wearer. You can read the full description here.

As always, Wings's main page is here. Inquiries via the site's Contact form. And we still badly need to make consistent sales to make it through the rest of this third year of pandemic and loss (especially now at the end of an outrageously costly couple of weeks, with several expenses yet to cover), so shares of the site links are much appreciated.
