Frequently asked questions
I’m not Native, can I wear these earrings?
Yes! Non-native, mainstream fashion often takes its cues from Native cultures to sell boho/southwestern style accessories to the exclusion of actual Native creatives. Buy your boho items from Native people! My designs don’t involve closed practices and are available to all.
care and wear
Beaded items should be treated with care. Please do not get your items wet, as this can cause damage to the foundation and backing. It’s best to store your beadwork somewhere dark and cool to avoid fading and other problems. While I use high-quality materials such as Miyuki and Toho beads, Swarovski crystal centers, and Fireline thread, items exposed to high heat/high light situations on a regular basis may fade or become damaged and will be the responsibility of the wearer.
If the beaded edge of an item comes loose or needs to be repaired please contact me and I’ll find a solution for you.
