Bead stores often don’t hit the mark - same standard beads and high prices. You can find pieces like these at thrift stores! Unique and way too good to leave behind. These will be repurposed into limited, one-of-a-kind designs. 😍

First time seeing Mookaite beads 🤎 The earthy tones - mustard, burgundy, cream and browns are absolutely stunning! I’ll be using these for earrings.

I’m reworking these thrifted pieces into something fresh. I love giving old jewelry a modern Indigenous twist. Stay tune...
