Product Story:

The vision for these earrings was born from a conversation within the Good Medicine Collective about bringing the power of traditional symbols into everyday life. We hear our community elder discuss how our grandmothers and aunties carry their artistry with them, their hands constantly creating beauty that told a story even in the bleakest of times. We asked: how can we wear our values and our resistance with the same quiet power?

The answer was found in the harmony of old and new. The dentalium shell, a historical symbol of wealth and status in many tribes, is honored alongside the medicine wheel colors, a unifying modern emblem of Pan-Indigenous unity and the four directions. This design is a reflection of our journey—honoring the deep roots of our traditions while proudly expressing our contemporary identity. 

By choosing these earrings, you are directly supporting the hands that made them and affirming that Indigenous art is not a relic of the past, but a living, evolving practice. You carry a piece of our resilience and beauty with you.
