Little Birds
6/17/2015Noon
Light unblinking,
time empty of minutes,
a bird stopped short in air.
Later
Light flung down,
the pillars awake
and, without moving, dance.
Full Sun
The time is transparent:
even if the bird is invisible,
let us see the color of his song.
- Octavio Paz, 1914-1998
I am completely amazed by Eric Whitacre's interpretation of this poem. I love the harmony, complexity, intensity of "Little Birds" composition, and the tangible atmosphere of quiet afternoon, when the sun is scorching and silence is broken only by a birds' song. I can feel a touch of nostalgia here, along with solitude and freedom... So moving and so beautiful! I just had to preserve all those emotions in the form of jewellery.
Necklace and earrings are made from scratch by hand from pure, finest quality silver (.999) and .925 sterling silver components (ear studs, bail, connecting elements, snake chain). This jewellery set is decorated with flawless, dreamy blue sapphires, drops of sunny citrines, and with small (~ 5mm), hand carved silver birds. Openwork, delicate and slender design reflects the subtlety and lightness of the melody.
One of a kind, eco friendly, ethically sourced and crafted with passion.
