Sunshine Manta Ray Earrings
Woven to evoke grace in their wearer. Manta Rays guide us to notice the nuances of energetic currents and adjust accordingly. They are intricately twined with silk and merino weft yarns under the Chilkat weaving tradition. Each curvilinear line is a braid down the center to be capped with a silver-coated cone—Chilkat warp thigh-spun with slivers of cedar bark fans out 2″ from the ring.
Twined to accompany ceremonial regalia or offer an aura of regality, indigenous and non-indigenous folk are welcome and encouraged to adorn themselves in Native-made ceremonial garb such as these earrings. These adornments are not just infused with bougie glamour but ancestral tradition and strength.
These earrings are woven following the Ravenstail tradition and have a front and back.

If warp ends take on a life of their own and begin “tweaking out,” simply dampen them with a touch of water and hang or lie the earrings in place to dry.
