When Wings has momentum, beautiful things result.

Okay, so I definitely was not expecting him to have these done, too, but when Wings has momentum, beautiful things result.

These are the newest (and not, actually, the earrings I thought he would have finished first; yes, there are more in the pipeline), but these are absolutely stunning: Sunlit Rain, made with natural American turquoise (unlabeled beyond that, but we think it's Turquoise Mountain), above a row of citrine cabochons. I want to point out that these are not multiple separate settings soldered together; it's all one organic piece, with the tab t the top extending to catch the jump ring and the rest supporting individual bezels. All the saw-work and file-work (and believe me, it was extensive; I saw him doing it) is done entirely freehand. And they hang perfectly, because yes, of course I tried them on so he could make sure, why do you ask?

Lots more Indigenous silverwork, tradish designs like this and very contemporary ones, too, as well as a lot more Native art, all at NDN Silver. Inquiries/orders via the Contact form.
