Gordell Wright (Shinnecock) presents a lovely pair of triangular-shaped wampum earrings that showcase simplicity and charm. These earrings feature the unique purple and white layers of wampum, sourced from the shell of the quahog clam found along the eastern seaboard. Wampum holds deep historical significance for Native people of the Eastern Woodlands, serving as a medium of communication, trade, and peacemaking. Each earring hangs gracefully from a sterling silver ear wire, adding a touch of elegance to their simplicity. With a modest size, measuring W 0.5" x L .5", these earrings offer a delightful accessory.
