This brilliant, cool white earring set is versatile, and can compliment almost any outfit. It features texturing reminiscent of the papery bark of the white Birchbark tree. The set is sterling silver. The earring set is designed, cast and finished by Mohawk Nation artist Yonenyà:kenht Jesse Brant.
The first feature of our 2019 "KARHÁKON: In the Woods" line is the pristine white Birch tree. Watena'kehtá:rons in the Mohawk language, white Birch is a classic silver beauty in the winter landscape of the carolinian woodlands of eastern Canada and the United States. White Birch tree stands can be found grouped at the edge of the woods, brilliant slivers of white against the grey-brown trunks of the winter woods, where the sunlight is at its brightest in the carolinian canopy.

The Sapling & Flint signature series "KARHÁ:KON -In the Woods" is an insightful reflection on the beauty of the carolinian eastern woodlands home of the Haudenosaunee people. These forests extend across southern Ontario & Quebec, and down to the Carolinas. Visit the KARHÁ:KON collection regularly as we introduce new pieces that celebrate our forest home. 70% of Canada's endangered and at-risk species call the carolinian forest home. With the small remnants of pristine woodlands including Six Nations of the Grand River, Walpole Island First Nation, and Algonquin Provincial Park; it is largely Indigenous communities that are safeguarding the future of much of Canada's sensitive biodiversity. Allow these pieces to be a reminder that it takes us all working together to keep Turtle Island beautiful. |
