For the A:Shiwi (The People) corn is called the Mother as it's a primary crop emerging from sacred Mother Earth. Zuni jeweler Tracey Bowekaty shares that corn is used in "many ways, in cooking, to make Tamales, and in ceremony." Elegantly carved, these tiered turquoise, gold lip shell and spiny oyster shell corn earrings for pierced ears will make a subtle yet lasting impression. Set into sterling silver with colorful inlays from lapis, coral, malachite, alunite and jet, these medium-weight earrings including hooks measure about 3 1/4" long, 1/2" wide and 1/8" deep. Signed by the artist who started making corn jewelry when her first son was born in 1992.
