"Blue Wails"
Sometimes winter is like a glacier, where there are only shades of blue with the occasional rays of sun on the ice and snow. At such times, memories and dreams of spring provide the impetus to get up each day.
This piece, crafted of sterling silver, represents the twists and twinings of winter's darkest times. The deep blue dichroic cabochon is the winter night; the pale blue diamond shaped cats eye cabochon is the hope of spring, with its illusions of shimmering light. The faceted quartz beads represent the diamond gleam of ice and snow, and the indigo round beads and frosted medium blue melon beads add the depth of endless days and nights of the cold winter. The neckpiece is suspended on a sterling silver chain and fastened with a handcrafted ss hook and loop.
