Sky Symbols - Symbol Selection
Our original sky symbols are available on all of our handcrafted sterling silver jewelry (necklaces, earrings, and bracelets) styles. Esther Winter, jewellery designer draws each original Winterchild symbol by hand. The symbol is then forged into a hardened steel stamp. Next, the stamp is hammered into the sterling silver to create an imprint. Final touches include curving the silver and polishing. Handcrafted in the Yukon, Canada.
I named this lovely dancer Aurora, she dances to her own rhythm, and in her wake she leaves beauty. Were I the wise woman of an earlier, less-scientific time, I believe this would have been my explanation of the magical Aurora Borealis.
In her final performance, Falling Star dives gracefully and swiftly, going out with such extreme energy and brilliance that she leaves all of us on earth breathless.
Once this image came to me I could not get it out of my mind, it is the true harvest moon, complete with a branch of fall leaves along his crest and dried leaves gracefully floating below into space.
In my Yukon community, on the Summer Solstice, most people never get any sleep. With the near 24-hour sun shining, we run marathons or have parties on a nearby mountain top. Truly, we do anything but sleep. With eyes closed and a smile, this image is my conception of the midnight sun. Always present, he must sneak in a few winks whenever he can!
