These unique, wearable hoop stud earrings are hand-carved by British Columbian First Nations artist, Justin Rivard. They measure 1/2" diameter x 1/4" wide. Created with symbols that represent the primary family crest figures found within British Columbian Native culture, these earrings really capture the spirit of the Northwest Coast.

These earrings can be engraved with the following symbols:

Orca - communication and unity
Eagle - pride and friendship
Hummingbird - good health and the joyful messenger
Raven - creation and transition

In addition to being trained artistically as a carver, Justin is a trained jeweller. He is dedicated to applying his skills to new and unconventional forms, while using the same media of gold, silver and semi-precious stones. For example, Justin has created carved business card holders, lighter covers, and cufflinks. Justin trained with Kwakwaka'wakw artist Ray Dumont for 16 years and has work in Canadian, American and Scottish galleries.
