This beaded piece made by Beading Hearts is a labor of meditation and healing—these Pacific Northwest Indigenous earrings were stitched over the course of 2 hours and 45 minutes. They are one of one.
Beading Hearts uses only the highest quality materials for their flatstitch beadwork, using sterling silver, genuine mother of pearl shell, glass Miyuki Delica beads and ethically-sourced, buckskin leather from a small hunter/seller in Okanogan, WA.
This is slow fashion rooted in Indigenous artistry: timeless, sacred.
