Black & Red “Guy” Necklace
From the artist: ”My grandfather really likes the design of the king snake so my grandmother often replicates patterns of different animals in her jewelry that will offset natural traditional elements used in our culture to make necklaces such as this for everyday wear that has a traditional significance.”
Handcrafted "Guy" necklace by Alyssa Wilson and her family, artisans from the Hoopa, Yurok, and Comanche Nations. This one-of-a-kind piece celebrates the artistry and traditions of their upbringing.
Meticulously crafted using a king snake pattern with abalone chips, time-honored beadwork techniques passed down through generations, this piece is both a symbol of timeless craftsmanship and modern elegance. Each bead is carefully placed, reflecting the family's dedication to preserving their cultural identity while creating contemporary pieces that speak to the heart.
Wear this necklace as a unique statement of heritage, skill, and beauty. It not only showcases fine craftsmanship but also serves as a connection to the deep-rooted traditions of Indigenous artistry.
