Starburst Earrings

描述

The Starburst design shared in sterling silver is representative of the star ornament pattern developed by generations of Haudenosaunee silversmiths during our over 400 year Trade Silver history. Haudenosaunee trade silver pieces are often uniquely styled with waves, dashes & dots etched into the design by the Silversmith and would provide a meaning unique to the smith. The Sapling & Flint Starburst is patterned with arrows projecting outward to represent sunbeams. The circular bulbs on the tip of each sunbeam represent the path of the sun across the daytime sky. Like all our designs, these earrings are proudly made in our studio in the village of Ohswé:ken, bringing arts-based opportunity to our community.
