Large silver and golden wings, one pair of each (four wings)

Description

I am nuts for Tibetan silver, even though I don’t know exactly what it is. I’m guessing that it’s similar to the alpaca silver of South America, which has something added to retard tarnishing. However, Tibetan silver is generally heavier and, despite some surprising similarities, reflects a different cultural heritage and esthetic. The information I’ve been able to glean from my sources is that it’s zinc-based and lead and nickel free, making it somewhat closer to brass than pewter. Whatever, it’s pretty, solid, usually nicely detailed, and a joy to use.

Wings are cool any time, but especially as we wind down the yearr and everyone’s gearing up for angels (I’m listing some of those, too, by the way.) These wings are really lovely, very nicely detailed, and come in 2 colors (silver and gold) and three sizes (50 x 16mm, which I’ll call large; 30 x 10mm, or medium; and 17 x 5mm, tiny). I have different amounts of each, and no medium silver, so I’ll be listing the available ones in varying combinations.
Except for size and color they’re pretty much identical, and all two-sided. The pictures will show different groupings, but you are buying 2 pairs of the large ones, one in silver and one in goldl here.

August 26 update: I'm adding a pic of a necklace using these and one of our big curved tubes.


Enjoy! and don't forget to send photos of what you make with them!
