Sterling Silver Lovebirds Ring

The Tlingit and Haida have two clans, Eagle and Raven. Eagles traditionally marry Ravens and Ravens marry Eagles because all members of the clan are considered brothers and sisters. An item of value with both a Raven and Eagle design may be given as a love token to someone of the opposite clan, therefore it is called a Lovebirds token.

Sterling Silver Otter Ring

Otters are such sensuous, joyful and feisty critters! If you”ve been blessed with the opportunity to watch them play you can only come away feeling happy. They roll, tumble and dive so acrobatic and agile in the water. They are at home on land, river or sea, distinctively versatile. These Otters are tumbling and diving around ones finger! The Sages tell us that Otter will teach us not only to have fun but to awaken a sense of wonder and adventure in our surroundings.

Sterling Silver Raven Sun Ring

The Tlingits tell the story that Raven’s people were tired of always being in the dark, so Raven contrived a plan to be born as a human baby to the daughter of the Great Chief. He played on the floor of Grandfather”s lodge and whined to play with the beautiful glowing ball in the cedar box. Grandfather spoiled this charming child and let him play with it, but Raven seized his opportunity and quickly transformed back into Raven. With the ball, Raven flew for the smoke-hole but when he squeezed thru the ball fell apart. Raven caught all the parts and with one mighty heave threw them into the sky. Thus Sun, Moon and Stars were flung into the universe to light up the sky.

Sterling Silver Bentwood Box Ring

Janet Walker created this ring design as a representation of a traditional Northwest Coast Style Carved Bentwood Box. Traditionally a bentwood box was created using hot water or steam to bend the wood. The outer side was artistically carved to include totems and mystical characters. I imagined a village after a flood with a box of dried salmon floating downstream, waterlogged, with only one carved corner sticking up waiting to be found.

Sterling Silver Bear Ring

The Indians of the Pacific Northwest believed that before the first people were created the world was inhabited by animals who lived and acted as people. In some tribes, the most powerful of these people were bears. Today the bear represents one of the last true symbols of the natural world. For those of us who claim Bear as our totem, we must remember not to be reclusive, but to come out of our den. The world needs us. We are chiefs, mighty hunters and and powerful protectors.
