Handmade and then engraved by hand, these earrings feature the red handprint symbol in honor of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and People. Each pair is carved from natural walrus ivory and shaped into a smooth teardrop, then detailed using a scrimshaw technique that creates a textured surface for long-lasting color.
The red handprint is filled with oil-based paint, allowing it to settle deep into the engraving so it remains bold over time. Because of this process, drying can take a few days, but the result is a rich, durable finish that holds its color.
Each pair is one of a kind, with natural variations in the ivory that make every set unique. Lightweight, easy to wear, and finished with argentium silver findings.
