Wampum Shell & Smoked Moosehide

Earrings made from traditional smoked moosehide, a high-quality material known for its rich, smoky aroma. These moosehide loops are paired with wampum shell beads, vintage brass spikes, and a gold-plated link chain, creating a long and striking silhouette.

Wampum beads come from quahog clam shells and are known for their historical significance among nations like the Anishinaabe and Haudenosaunee. Exchanging wampum was a way to give your word, representing a promise and a commitment to the truth of an agreement. For centuries, these shells acted as living records of peace and partnership across the Great Lakes and Eastern Woodlands and were used in treaty making.
