Designed and hand-beaded by artist Tina Brothers from Moonstone Creation, the design of the earrings was inspired by the natural beauty of St. Patrick’s Island—where the land and water meet at the river’s edge. Each pair is made with Myiuki glass beads and a 1” hypo-allergenic surgical steel hoop.

Tina Brothers is a Métis artist from Valleyview, Alberta that has been beading for 10 years. She learned to bead under the tutelage of Yvonne Jobin, founder of Moonstone Creation Indigenous Art Gallery, and Kim Brothers.
