Inspired by the rich traditions of the Great Lakes Ojibwe people, each piece of beadwork at Northern Skye Beadworks is a testament to the vibrant culture and heritage of the region. Handcrafted with reverence for Ojibwe language, mythology, and traditional attire, every pair of earrings is meticulously made using the finest Japanese glass beads, nylon thread, and a delicate needle—no bead looms here.
While rooted in tradition, some of Skye's work also incorporates a modern flair, reflecting contemporary influences and styles. As each bead is stitched with care, imbuing them with good thoughts and intentions, the needle and thread pass through each bead several times. From the initial design concept to the final stitch, crafting a pair of Northern Skye Beadworks earrings takes 2-5 hours of intricate work, incorporating an average of 1,200 beads.
Experience the essence of Ojibwe craftsmanship and culture, seamlessly blended with modern aesthetics, with each uniquely crafted pair of earrings from Northern Skye Beadworks.
