These handmade brass earrings are woven with real spruce roots, carrying forward a tradition our Yakutat women were once renowned for—the finest spruce root weavers in Southeast Alaska. Traditionally used for basketry, spruce roots hold deep cultural meaning; as a jewelry artist, I incorporate them into my designs to honor my ancestors, my community, and the artistry they perfected. Each pair is a blend of strength and elegance, with the warm brass and natural weaving creating a truly one-of-a-kind piece. Lightweight, meaningful, and rooted in heritage, these earrings are more than jewelry—they’re a story you can wear.
