Collapsible content
Indigenous Made. Indigenous owned.
All products listed are thoughtfully designed and crafted by an Afro-Indigenous beadworker (ME!) with several years of experience and continued learning.
As a multi-cultural artist, my beadwork takes influences from several origins within my heritage including Amą:sú:xi and regions in Africa.
Handmade Products
Everything is handmade and guaranteed to last!
Hypoallergenic
Hooks, posts, clips, and other pieces are safe for sensitive skin! Hypoallergenic and/or authentic materials.
Note:
While products are listed as hypoallergenic, some customers may find certain materials irritating to the skin. Products containing materials such as copper or brass will be acknowledged in their descriptions.
Ancestor-Driven
As Indigenous people, Creator has honored us with the role of land stewardship.
Continuing the traditions of my Ancestors, all organic materials that go into my beadwork are ethically sourced.
