Honor the Treaties XL

These are a limited edition release of the Honor the Treaties earring. A copy of the cedar version, but with added abalone gemstone and ermine pelt - both cultural symbols of royalty.

The Honor the Treaties design is here in recognition of Treaty Day in Washington State. On January 22nd, 1855, the Treaty of Point Elliott was signed by more than 11 tribal nations in Mukilteo, WA. This group included the Lhaq'temish (Lummi) people, upon whose ancestral land we create our pieces. This treaty guaranteed the sovereign tribal nations who signed it rights to hunting and fishing, as well as reservations, and was necessary to the creation of Washington State.

Today, Honor the Treaties acknowledges the systemic breaking of these treaties by the United States government. The Honor the Treaties earrings are here to resound the echo, "Will you remember the promises you've made to the people here today?"

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.
