The story:

The dentalium shell has been a mark of wealth and status for many nations for a very long time. This pair puts it next to the colors I keep coming back to on the loom. Old and new, worn together.

By choosing these earrings, you are directly supporting the hands that made them, and affirming that Indigenous art is a living, evolving practice.

Each purchase of handcrafted beadwork includes a certificate of authenticity signed by the artist, ensuring authenticity, integrity, and compliance with the Indian Arts and Crafts Act of 1990.
