These elegant earrings by Jessica R. Metcalfe (Turtle Mountain Chippewa) make a beautiful statement. They feature dentalium shells, large fire polished faceted glass beads, metal beads, and cowry shells.

For Native communities, shells hold vast complex meanings. In my tribe, the miigis or cowry shells are gifts from the water beings, which are other-than-human spiritual entities living in the entrancing underwater world. To recieve such a special thing was a sign of status and wealth. Remember, wealth wasn't always associated with the amount of cash in your bank account, but rather as the opposite, with a strong connection to the spirit world and to the natural world instead.

With these pretty earrings, we combine sparkle and optimism with the rich heritage of our past and the legacy we shall pass on to the future.
