Each earring in Kokum's Ribbon Earring Collection is meticulously handcrafted by our family, utilizing the finest materials and paying homage to the cultural significance of our grandmothers' wisdom. The collection's name, "Kokum," derived from the Cree word for "grandmother," symbolizes the intergenerational bond and the eternal lessons we inherit from our elders.
The floral and feather patterns embellishing each earring intricately portray the stories of our grandmothers' wisdom. The floral motifs, reminiscent of the vibrant colors and fragrant blooms of a garden, embody the nurturing spirit and resilience that our grandmothers shared with us throughout their lives. They remind us of the tenacity and grace that have been passed down through generations.
On the other hand, the feather patterns, inspired by the majesty of eagles soaring above us, encapsulate the freedom and wisdom our grandmothers possessed. Like feathers drifting with the wind, their teachings guide us on our journey, enabling us to foster a deeper connection with our culture and a greater understanding of ourselves.
