Coastal Strata Earrings

“The Coastal Strata Earring is inspired by our deep connection to the tidelands and the essential role that mussels play in the ecosystem. Mussels are a source of sustenance for many animals and people, and they are also revered for their beautiful shells, with hues of purple and blue that bring elements of beauty and contrast to our ancestral motifs and adornment art.” —Vina Brown

Made with matte and mirror acrylic, abalone inlay, and silver-finished stainless steel or brass ear wire.

Measurements: 4.25” L x 1.5” W
Made in the USA

  • Vina Brown's indigenous name is ƛ̓áqvas gḷ́w̓aqs, which loosely translates to Copper Canoe Woman. She grew up in unceded Haíłzaqv territory in Bella Bella, British Columbia and currently lives on the Lummi reservation in Washington State. She's a member of the Haíłzaqv Nation and she's Nuučaan̓uɫ on her maternal side.

    Vina first learned to bead, weave, and sew from her aunties and grandmothers and spent a lot of time immersed in the renaissance of the culture and art of her ancestors, specifically the painting and carving of Northwest coast formline.

    Vina believes making art is her inherent right as an Indigenous human. She creates to preserve the stories of her ancestors and family. Vina's work has been highlighted on the runways at New York Fashion Week, Santa Fe Indian Market Fashion Show, Vancouver Indigenous Fashion Week, and several local and Indigenous media outlets.
