Waawaate-Mitigo-Giiwe

A garden is a living, breathing cycle—a place where everything has its time to grow, to fall, and to be transformed. These earrings are a celebration of that vitality. The wood at their core is a humble gift from my own garden, a piece of the earth that has been elevated by the warmth of gold wire and the joyful swing of tassels and bells.

The tassels are like sunlight caught in the branches, while the bells act as a gentle call to attention, reminding us to celebrate the simple magic of the natural world. To wear them is to carry the energy of the garden with you—a bright, shimmering reminder that even the smallest branch, when given love and intention, can become something that truly sings.

Waawaate-Mitigo-Giiwe (The Shimmering Return of the Tree)

Pronunciation guide: Wah-wah-teh Mih-tih-goh Gee-way

The name combines Waawaate (shimmering/pulsing light) and Mitigo-Giiwe (the tree’s return), describing the way the gold tassels and bells "shimmer" as the wood from your garden dances in its new form.
