Now, the sterling silver concha earrings.  You want to see these, too: four pairs of earrings [okay, technically five; the last one has already sold, but I'll show it here so you can see it, because he'll have more in this style to come].

First up, the pair shown above, repeated here:

This pair is called A Heart That Beats In All Directions. These are standard oval conchas, perhaps a little larger than some [1-3/8" long; I suspect 1" is about average], domed by hand from the reverse. Slightly lower price point on all of this style, with each of the plain silver ones priced at $350 a pair. These are stamped freehand with a central stylized Zia-like motif, itself centered by a heart; Wings has arranged them so that one heart points upward, the other down. Outward, to all of the other directions, are tree graduated concentric ovals of radiant motifs linked by tiny hoops; the arcs, arrayed in ascending size as they are, call to mind the pulse of a beating heart. You can read their full description here.

The second pair is very similar, and yet, entirely unique:

This pair is called Birth of a New Sun. They're the same size as the previous pair, but the negtive space makes them appear slightly larger. Again, saw-cut into classic ovals and domed by hand, traditionally; this pair has a center motif formed by a slightly 3D starburst stamp, texturized by Wings by hand at its center, and giant radiant sunrises linked by tiny hoops around the border. These are polished to a higher finish, and they absolutely glow. You can read their full description here.

The third pair features some fabulous imagery:

These are called, simply and aptly, Sun and Moon and Morning Star, all of which appear in the deep, gorgeous freehand stampwork on their surface. These are ever so slightly larger than the first two pairs: 1-5/8" long by 1-1/4" across. More saw-cut ovals, domed from the reverse; the sunrise motif appears around a parapet symbol, like the rooflines in the old village; the crescent moons are an extraordinary display of skill, creating a whirlpool effect; and the stars at the center are formed by hand of individual points as spokes around a central hoop. You can read their full description here.

The fourth pair, created a couple of days later, is adorned with imagery similar to that above, yet entirely unique:

This pair is called, simply, Orbital. Click on the image to enlarge it, and you'll see why. This pair, too, is a little larger, 1-5/8" long by 1-5/16" across, saw-cut ovals domed the old way. At the center, another Guiding Star, spokes and centers created individually by hand, ringed by an oval of crescent moons at center, a larger one of radiant points at the outside, and together they impart such a sense of motion that this pair virtually named itself. You can read its full description here.

Finally, the fifth ["technical"] pair, one that was created along with these, but has already sold:

These are called The Eye of the Light, and I'm showing them to you here because Wings has more planned in this tiny hex-drop style. These were saw-cut freehand, the central motif a repoussé Eye of Spirit [meaning that they were stamped from the reverse, so the diamond shape rises in relief against the rest of the earring]. Freehand stampwork around it; very simple, and significantly less expensive. He's planning on creating more in this size at this price point, and as always, each pair will be unique, so if you want to geet an order in early, you can do it now.  You can also read their full description here.

As always, Wings's main page is here. Inquiries via the site's Contact form. We truly need to begin this new calendar year on a better note, which means that we will need to make consistent sales,  so shares are very much needed and much appreciated.
