Here it is: two new pairs of earrings by Wings.

All right, I said that I would have new work, and here it is:  two new pairs of earrings by Wings. First up is the pair shown above; even though both pairs are the same price, these are longer, dagger-like, and more dramatic, so I'm leading with them:

These are called Flames On Fall Winds, so named for their fabulous colors and shape. These are outsized, beveled dagger cabochons of Red Creek jasper, which manifests in these incredible autumn colors. These are not a perfect match but they're clearly pulled from the same deposit, and the colors range from scarlet and crimson to bronze and gold to olive and brown. They're set into bezels made entirely by hand, meticulous saw- and file-work, and they hang from French wires. You can read their full description here . . . and also, look at how spectacularly well they would go with this necklace.

The second pair is a more classic design, thanks to the elegant stones at their centers:

This pair is called Sherds of a Turquoise Sky [why, yes, I am nerd enough to spell it sherds and pronounce it shards, the original way; why do you ask?]. These are built around gorgeous one-inch-long tabs of natural Nevada turquoise, likely either Fox or Royston, trapezoidal and ever so slightly asymmetrical, and manifest in that flawless blue of the desert sky:

Again, the bezels are all hand-made, and you can see the extraordinary cutwork just above. You can also read their full description here.

Selling either of these tonight would get us out of August and through the first of the month in one piece (which we currently cannot do); selling both would go a long way toward September expenses.

As always, Wings's main page is here. Inquiries via the site's Contact formWe will still need to make consistent sales in this fourth year of pandemic and loss, and we are facing enormous expenses in the middle of our worst sales year in a very long time, so shares are desperately needed and much appreciated.
