These handcrafted earrings feature delicate floral beadwork set on natural moosehide, inspired by traditional Cree floral designs. The pattern is called Nuuhkum Uunibiimsh, which translates to “My Grandmother’s Flowers.” The design reflects the knowledge, beauty, and teachings passed down through generations, honoring the influence of grandmothers in Cree culture.

Each pair is carefully beaded by hand on smoked and tanned moosehide, with the beadwork placed on the front and natural untanned moosehide on the back, highlighting the beauty and texture of the hide. The earrings are finished with sterling silver kidney hooks and wire guards for comfortable and secure wear.

Because each pair is handmade, slight variations in bead placement, hide texture, and color make every pair unique.
