Salish Weave Hoop Earrings

CA$130.00Copper, Engraved
“The significance of the Salish Weave is that it allowed me to take a very difficult and intricate design and apply it to silver and gold jewelry, making it my own unique statement to the world.
Traditionally, the Salish Weave was used only on wood and cedar. Being able to participate in a Cedar Hat-making workshop with the late Holly Williams allowed me to prepare and create my own Cedar Hat. It was a very tactile and visually appealing experience, so I would say this is the beginning of my thought process of putting the cedar weave to metal and being able to take the feel of the cedar and recreate it on metal.
I feel contentment and pride in my completed works because the Salish Weave in jewelry is a contemporary idea that holds onto tradition. Weaving us together is an expression that tells the story of people feeling connected to the land, their community and each other; yet, allows them to be unique as in no two pieces of jewelry are the same.” – Jody Sparrow, 2023

“Variations of the Raven Story” Pendant
Gwaai Edenshaw
CA$110.00Sterling silver, Copper (Artist’s Signature Seal), Impressed
Part of Gwaai’s Regalia jewelry line, featuring handmade works that depict abstraction of the Haida form. The motifs impressed on each piece are borrowed from a dismantled a bentwood box design featuring variations of the Raven story. As an extension of this original concept, Gwaai has developed other themes such as reinterpreting Naxiin or Chilkat blanket weaving designs. After embossing on sterling silver or copper sheets, each specific design is carefully chosen for its aesthetic and narrative qualities. They are then shaped and polished by hand, ensuring no two pieces will ever be identical.

“Initiation” Bracelet
Gwaai Edenshaw
CA$280.00Sterling silver, Impressed
DomedFrom Gwaai Edenshaw:
“Like fragmented artifacts or a keyhole peek at a larger design, this is the essence of the Regalia Line. From an idea conceived over a decade ago, through techniques fine-tuned over the last 5 years comes a new line by designer Gwaai Edenshaw.
Initiation is the inaugural collection by Regalia. These one-of-a-kind pieces merge Haida tradition with modern fashion for a distinct combination of quality and style.
Once embossed on sterling silver or gold sheets, specific images are carefully chosen for their aesthetic and narrative qualities. These are then shaped and polished by hand ensuring no two pieces will ever be alike.”
