These earrings are an offering of warmth, steadiness, and lived-in love. Set on natural deer hide, each piece carries a small heart at its center — a quiet symbol of devotion, resilience, and care that is earned over time. The circular form speaks to cycles, continuity, and the hearth: the place where stories are shared, meals are made, and generations gather.

The rich golden tone evokes sunlight, harvested fields, and late-afternoon warmth — a color long associated with nourishment, protection, and abundance. Framed by delicate beadwork, the heart is not meant to dominate, but to rest — held gently, intentionally, and with respect.

These earrings are slow-made and grounding, designed to feel comforting, familiar, and deeply rooted.

The circle represents wholeness and the unbroken line of ancestry, while the heart at its center speaks to love that endures through work, hardship, and care. This piece reflects ancestral teachings that love is not loud — it is steady, sustaining, and present.

Worn as a grounding talisman, these earrings are meant to anchor the wearer in warmth, gratitude, and connection to the land and those who came before.
