A Wing I – Filigree in Silver

"A structure of bone and feather, where strength and lightness meet." Constructed entirely by hand in sterling and fine silver, these one of a kind earrings combines sculpted silver forms with individually fitted elements and traditional filigree. Each component was made separately and built into the final structure, with the two earrings developed as counterparts.
