Qṃsista Earrings

1. Moonlight Harvest (Pair with Swarovski crystals and triangle abalone)

The glimmer of the crystals evokes the night water reflecting moonlight, and the abalone triangle grounds the design in natural wealth. This name honors the shimmer of the sea during herring harvest.

2. Sea Sister (Pair with long white dentalium, triangle abalone, herring form)

This pair feels ceremonial—elegant and powerful. The name reflects kinship with the ocean and the feminine energy of dentalium and fish moving in rhythm with the tide.

3. Tipped Crescent (Pair with wide herring body and abalone round, no dentalium)

A direct homage to qṃsistá—the moon tipped over. The shape of the herring and abalone disc mirrors that celestial sign that starts the season.

4. Tidewalker (Pair with slim herring form, triangle abalone, and dentalium drop) 

This one has movement. The dentalium flows like legs walking through tidal pools. “Tidewalker” speaks to being part of the shoreline ecosystem—walking alongside the wolves, the kelp, the seafoam.

5. Silver Current (Long Pair with Swarovski crystals, chain, and small herring dangle)

This name captures the dynamic energy of ocean currents guiding the herring’s journey. “Silver” honors the shining scales of the fish, while “Current” evokes flow, life, and continuity — fitting for an earring that dances with movement and light.

Ğiáxsix̌a for supporting Copper Canoe Woman! We want to give you some tips on caring for your pieces to help ensure that you’ll be able to wear it for the years to come.

​Care Tips:

• Please treat your jewelry with care. We don’t recommend storing your jewelry in a bag/purse, unless it’s wrapped in fabric, tucked into a small jewelry bag/roll, or in it’s original packaging.
• ​Take care when putting on jackets, purses, and bags so your jewelry doesn’t snag.
• ​Try not to let your jewelry get wet, please remove before showering or swimming. Water can damage the findings, and other metal parts of our jewelry.
• ​Put your jewelry on as a finishing touch. Perfumes, sunscreens, bug sprays and various skincare products can cause discoloration or a change in texture of any acrylic pieces in the jewelry.
• ​Avoid leaving your jewelry in the bathroom, or other humid environments. Humidity causes metal to tarnish.
• ​To clean the acrylic pieces, a microfiber cloth (and a little bit of water for stubborn marks) will leave them looking brand new.
• ​To clean brass pieces we suggest mild soap and water, or a non-abrasive jewelry cleaner. Please make sure that your brass jewelry is completely dried to avoid tarnishing.
• ​Please do not use any products that contain alcohol to clean your jewelry as it can damage the finish.

​If you have any other questions, please contact us! We’re happy to help.
