BUT, this does not mean cultural appropriation! What we mean by that is not to copy or look for the materials that we use. We hope to inspire you to seek your own roots. Where do you come from? What materials or plant medicines did your ancestors use?
All jewelry are one of a kind pieces. Kinsinta works with traditional materials of her people; such as abalone, dentalium shells, clam shells, cedar berries, & pinenuts. She likes to incorporate a modern touch with glass beads and crystals. She doesn’t like to redo the same design, but will if absolutely neccessary.
Beargrass is a traditional material her people weave with. They implement her in their basketry and regalia. The grass spurts out after a cultural burn, & they gather her in the summer. She is a very special mentor, teaching Kinsinta about connection to place, learning awareness, gratitude, & so much more. Ever since Kinsinta was a young girl, beargrass has been with her through her daily activities, weaving braids everywhere she would go.
Appraisals are not just about knowing the value of your jewelry, but understanding its history. The more conscience you are of the material, the more you‘re able to wear in a good way.
