Happy to present my newest Indi.Ear design creation.
These earrings are inspired by the mosaic-style of jewelry making of my Hopi ancestors.
The ways of my ancestors lead to much trade with other tribal groups in Mexico and the southern California Baha region near the Pacific ocean.
From that ancient commerce the high desert ancestors traded fine shell products, jet, turquoise, jade and feathers. They were thus inspired to make grand Indigenous items for personal adornment purposes. This history of jewelry-making and trade is monumental and talks volumes of human interaction by the People of the desert and of the ocean lands. Their narrative of the past continually inspires me.
These earring adornments are my news creation, and I am pleased with them, and the balance they speak.
They are available on my store site:
Blessings.
