All right, I've been promising these for days:  three extraordinary new works by Wings. It's two bolos and pair of earrings, conchas all, each work at once very traditional and yet timeless, perfectly suited to now.

First up is the larger bolo, above. Here's a shot of the full tie:

It's called The Night Serpent, a reference to the scale-like stampwork and matrix patterning of its extraordinary focal stone. The whole design is phenomenal, concentric rings of freehand stampwork, scorework, and scalloped saw-work, and the variscite cabochon, ice blue finely webbed with inky midnight is the finest specimen of its sort we've ever seen. You can read its full description here.

The second work is also a bolo, smaller in size but, if anything, more flawless in its silverwork:

This one is called Orbital Resonances, a reference to the motion of celestial spirits. You'll understand when you look at the stampwork, which is, coincidentally, some of his finest freehand silverwork work to date. The stone at the center is old, and unidentifiable now, but likely Montezuma or Royston, and the whole is absolutely breathtaking. You can read its full description here.

The third and final work is the pair of earrings, also a traditional concha style, also set with blues, but of a very different sort:

This pair is called Radiating Light, a reference to the incredible stampwork in silver emanating from beneath the stormy twilight blues of iolite. These are a classic design, and the blues of the gems are deep and mysterious. You can read their full description here
