Bi-Clad (Gold & Silver) Grass Earrings w/Tsavorite Garnet Native American Shawnee Artist Heidi BigKnife

Authentic Native American earrings made from bi-clad metal with a layer of gold bonded to a layer of silver. The Shawnee earrings are folded to resemble a blade of grass; the second image shows a side view, with the silver showing on the inside. A faceted tsavorite garnet adds a beautiful, sparkly touch.

Grass earrings often symbolize the medicinal and spiritual importance of sweetgrass, which some Native American tribes chewed during ceremonial fasting rituals and also combined with herbs to help cure common ailments. As such, Native American grass earrings are traditionally associated with healing and positive spiritual alignment.

The Shawnee tribe in particular used thick bush grass (along with many other materials) to build their wigwams, another reason for Shawnee artist Heidi BigKnife to pay homage to her tribe with these superbly handcrafted Native American grass earrings.

These beautiful gold and silver grass earrings are 1 1/2″ tall x 1/4″ at the widest point.
