Hand-carved walrus ivory earrings featuring MMIW handprint engravings created with a modified tattoo gun for clean, precise detail. The “MMIW” lettering is cut by hand using a flex-shaft grinder, then both are filled with oil-based paint and India ink for contrast. Each piece is shaped, polished, engraved, and finished with sterling silver findings.
Made with care and intention to honor the Missing & Murdered Indigenous Women
