Description

These quietly forceful earrings have won us over. They speak a truth that cannot be silenced.

Inspired by the Two Spirit duality of queerness and native identities, the earrings feature vibrant rainbow colors from the modern LGBTQ+ Pride flag. Also duracoat gold glass beads wrapped around a Arizona turquoise with argentum silver and Japanese glass beads which symbolizes the diversity among LGBTQ+ and Two Spirit folks and the inclusion and empowerment of indigenous, brown, and black voices. A collaboration between Cheyanne Symone and QueerKwe whose goal is to increase inclusivity for LGBTQ+ and Two Spirit Indigenous Peoples through traditional art and jewelry. The goal of QueerKwe Designs is to bring representation for LGBTQ+ & Two Spirit Indigenous folks into community spaces by combining modern LGBT Pride flags with traditional beadwork. This collaboration combines QueerKwe Designs inspiration and style with Cheyanne Symone’s professional, elegant look and commitment to sustainability.
