Earlier today, I promised that Wings would have a new sterling silver bracelet, and here it is: a new companion piece to an earlier cuff from a week or so ago.
It's another arrow cuff, all the cutwork done freehand using a jeweler's saw with a filament-thin blade. On nine-gauge sterling silver, that's no small feat. This one is called Show Us the Way, a reference to the motifs of spiritual guidance that adorn every surface.

The arrowhead point is as sharp as the real thing (ask me how I know), and the fletching of the feathers is impossibly deep. The whole center of the bracelet has been cut away by hand from both sides to leave the slender, straight shaft, and it's covered on all sides (yes, including those spectacularly narrow edges) with freehand stampwork in powerful traditional symbols. [And it's the perfect companion to This Is Our Path, the new arrow cuff from last week, which has already found its home.] You can read its full description here, and click through to see the photos of the saw- and stampwork from all angles.
Wings's main page is here. Inquiries via the site's Contact form. We will still need to make consistent sales to make it through this third year of pandemic and loss, especially with extortionate 4-figure tax payments and extremely costly medical procedures due over the days, weeks, and months to come (and beginning a week ago), so shares of the site links are much appreciated.
