Buying beaded earrings from Indigenous people supports the Native American community 🥰 If you are not sure about buying them because you're not-native yourself- when you buy authentic native made you have bought the right to wear them, we wont sell you what is inappropriate to wear 😊 You can politely ask what Tribe an artist is a member of, and where their family is from.
THOSE HAWK EARRINGS!!!😮 Never have I been so upset to not be an earring person as I was when those came up. The whole collection is stunning, but those are fucking ART
I read this comment before they came on the screen and thought "they must be pretty cool." Then they came up and I was like "OOHH THE CAPITALS MAKE SENSE" 😂
Pinned comment for corrections!!! UPDATE CORRECTION ONE: Heather Stewart is @sweetgrass_beads NOT @sweatgrass_beads! Also FOUND THE ARTIST who made the raised beadwork flowers, they were made by Kristin Jock (@stinskiii on IG)
I prob can’t not leave something distasteful to others however I love Kris vids love Brie & love Jen they’re all positive & their lives are their own & I love when kris shares her fashion love Jen & her cooking & like when Brie answers things that I would think are common sense (prob offensive) yet treats those as they aren’t. Whatever they do they nailed it for me.
I love that you guys are so careful to be inclusive and to welcome any corrections of mispronunciations. This is a beautiful collection and a wonderful way to represent Kristin's heritage.
"Native people LOVE beaded earrings" I literally buy earrings from every single small business beader I can afford to, so you're not wrong. I'm not even Turtle Island, I'm Taino-Kuba/Taino-Kuboa XD WE JUST BE LOVING BEADS.
@@kitchenandjorn I'm siding with Jen that you need more Christmas earrings but then that also means you need other holiday earrings as well. Just in my humble opinion, not fishing for Part 2 at alllll XD
@@kitchenandjorn I LITERALLY ENDED UP BUYING A NEW PAIR OF BEADED EARRINGS BECAUSE OF THIS VIDEO AND THIS CONVERSATION. THEY'RE BUBBLEGUM PINK WITH IRIDESCENT CRESCENT MOONS AND THEY LOOK LIKE SAILOR MOON'S SOUL.
I have a pronunciation note! Someone might have already said this, and you got it right with Joey’s intro, but “anishinaabe” and “kwe” both end with an “aye” sound, like in “way”! Also, a bonus is “kwe” means woman in anishanaabemowin (or the Ojibwe language) 😊 This makes me so happy- I’m Cree and trying to connect back where I can, and part of that has been re-learning to flat bead and learn how to make earrings over the last year.
Just a note on the bloodroot earrings at 10:04. You called the flower a daisy but actually its the white 8-12 petaled flower of the bloodroot plant. Thanks for sharing your beaded earring collection, they're all so pretty!
Im so glad you mentioned that non Native people can wear beaded earrings bc I was halfway through a Google search bc these earrings were absolutely stunning but im not Native. Thank you for sharing your collection Kristen!!
Why would you need to ask if you can wear a set of earrings?! SJWs let other people rule they’re world 😂 I’m so happy to be free to wear what I please without feeling like i need to ask permission :)
@@ashliekeith9803onsidering so many different cultures have been banned from and ostracized for wearing their traditional/cultural clothing and accessories by others outside of their culture, it makes sense that one would ask permission. Especially considering white people often get praised or accepted for wearing things like "hippy" or "gypsy" or other stolen styles(erasing their origin and wearing inaccurate things) while the ogs get oppressed for it. It's about respect.
@@river9215 never seen a native person say it's bad to have on their culture if you do it the correct way and not make fun of it. It's white people that say you not allowed o do that becouse we decide what other cultures think
Kristin, I love seeing you discover your Native heritage! Especially through things like these beautiful accessories which are more a part of your personality than sitting down and sifting through dry historical sources.
Oh this is wonderful! As an reconnecting Afro-Indigenous artist it's sooo nice listening to people gush about their beadwork. It's especially great hearing the names of some of my favorite beaders. And seeing the owner of the beautiful beadwork they spent months on being a creator I love is all the better. Thanks so much for this, it made my night.
idk if anyone has said this yet, but for the 1st pair of earring when you said “dee-nay”, I myself and Diné, and it’s pronounced “di-neh” and you pronounce the “neh” part faster than the “di” part. I’m also so happy you showed all sorts of beaded earring because I do beadwork myself and I love that you can show these off. I’m so jealous of your collection.
Kristin is going to share her earring collection which I appreciate. BE NORMAL BE NORMAL BE NORMAL BE NORMAL BE NORMAL BE NORMAL BE NORMAL BE NORMAL BE NORMAL BE NORMAL BE NORMAL BE NORMAL BE NORMAL
I have to tell myself this everyday, somehow after quarantine of 2020 I’ve never felt normal again. I need this posted by my bedside,my front door,my car window,my license plate,,everywhere I come in contact with. BE NORMAL 😂💕
those red tailed hawk earrings were literally so beautiful that i actually started crying. like all of these are gorgeous and/or fun and have INCREDIBLE craftsmanship that blew me away--but i just DID NOT EXPECT the red tailed hawk earrings. holy fucking goddamn shit. never have earrings or any piece of jewelry, no matter how painstakingly crafted and no matter how beautiful, have moved me to tears. but those? fuck me, dude. i replayed that section over and over and just kept staring at them. fucking AMAZING. thank you so much for sharing your collection! you've got a pair for just about every occasion--which means you clearly need to keep going until you have at least TWO for every occasion, and then some. lol
these are all so beautiful, thanks for sharing! I gasped at the hawk ones, the detail and texture are stunning. I've gotten really into earrings in the past few years and I would love to add some native made earrings to my collection, I'll definitely be checking out some of these artists!
I actually used to work at an online bead retail store, and though I never got into making beaded jewelry myself, my coworkers did. I know how much work goes into making these and have so much respect for it as an art form and for the people that make them. It’s a gorgeous collection Kristin! I couldn’t possibly choose a favorite pair but I really loved those little rainbow ones, and holy crap-the hawks! I don’t think I’ve seen sequins used like this before. What amazing work!!
"Kwe" is pronounced like... kway. Anishinabe use a double vowel spelling for our language, in which a single letter E makes a long A sound. I LOVE YOUR EARRINGS! The little berry baskets are so CUTE!!
I love watching channels that I enjoy sharing their passions like this. Absolutely enraptured the entire time. Like when Trixie Mattel goes through her Barbies and gives us the deets behind their significance and the experience buying them.
The way I instantly spotted sweetgrass_beads 😍😍😍 her beadwork opened my world. I’m Lakota but grew up as a little pop punk gremlin. Heather’s work was the first time I saw traditional work in a non traditional way.
I love love love seeing beaded earrings collections. Thank you for talking about your Indigenous identity, especially as someone who has found greater connection to that part of your identity as an adult ♥️
Thanks for sharing your gorgeous collection with us, as well as the stories behind the individual pairs and the creators who made them!! Really, really beautiful!
I found these two on buzz feed and most recently found them again so I am catching up on 2yrs lol... I think Kristin (I spell my name same way the correct way Kristin) s so beautiful, smart and just an overall fantastic them. Jen let's see, oh yes same thing. I love the earrings, love that I found them again ...... Glad to have hit the subscribe button.......
I have come back to this video so many times in the last few months! I don't have much personal interest in beaded earrings but I love listening to people talk about subjects they are passionate about and you can tell that Kristin loves talking about beaded earrings!
Thank you for this video :) And thank you for supporting Indigenous bead artists! I was surprised to see a more mainstream show simply talking about how awesome beadwork is and this definetely cheered me up 🤗💜
I love how supportive and excited Jenn gets for things that bring her friends joy, even if it isn’t her personal style. She’s the hype friend everyone needs! 💜💜
Kristin, thank you for sharing your beautiful collection with us. I love how excited you are about all of these amazing pieces and how Jen is such a friend to be so interested in your treasurers.
OMG WHAT ah I can't wait to watch this after work - I know I'm gonna find some amazing new artists to follow! Thanks so much for showcasing your incredible earrings, and much love from this kichwa-puruha enby living on six nations territory! 🙏
I prefer smaller earrings for myself, but I can absolutely appreciate the beauty and work that goes into those pieces of art. Years ago I attempted to make bracelets with seed beads. Just getting the right needle and thread to be able to do patterns was a struggle! Nothing worse than getting thread that is thin enough to go through beads multiple times for complex patterns, only for it to break and your work to fall apart.
Me seeing Kristin’s earrings pop up in videos: Oh those are so cool! I wonder how many she has? Me seeing this vid: OH! THESE ARE GORGEOUS AND I NEED THOSE CLOUD ONES!💖
I loved my Native American art history class in the spring (sadly I had to withdraw for my physical health). I was so excited to work on the final project was to recreate traditional indigenous art with traditional materials. I was trying so hard to find quills to do my project. I literally texted my best friend to ask for horse hair. (Sorry if this doesn’t make entire since my nerve damage gives me bad brain fog). I have several indigenous friends who really were excited to see how well I did. I was going to recreate the bag without the shoulder strap that was in the first indigenous picture taken (It was some christian indigenous leader) I still actually read my book I have for that class because it is so interesting and I love to learn new things. All of the beadwork of your earring are gorgeous
my best friend is muscogee and she and her grandma make beaded earrings for themselves, they're always so beautiful. i love being able to see your collection! 😊
I went to Morning Bird's site after watching this video & fell in love with the jewelry. I bought 6 pairs of earrings & have gotten many compliments on them.
Came for a standard earring collection. Freaked over this AMAZINGLY CURATED AND REFINED EARRING COLLECTION!!! Our Native American homies DO THE DAMN THANG with earrings, yaaaaaas!!! :)
The flames earrings and the sword and heart braids decorations are a goth dream! 0.o So lovely! Ohmygosh, the Itchy and Scratchy were BEADED??? They are so detailed, I love The Simpsons so much! XD And the rainbow rain from the cloud earrings, so gorgeous!
I love that you not only showed off your collection, but you gave credit where credit was due, to the best of your abilities. Think in gonna look into starting my collection up again. I lost all my jewelry in a fire, and I 5 pairs of beaded earrings...😢
High key the video I have been waiting for!! If you ever open a po box I'd send earings. I have been watching both you for soo long gahh I'm so here for your indigenous journey
thank you sm for showing us your collection!!! It’s been a while since I’ve beaded because of college but I’m on a break right now. Seeing the beadwork/quillwork really inspired me and I think I’m gonna pick it up again (matter of fact literally right now). I’m sure I’ve got a lot of WIPs I need to finish 😭
what a gorgeous collection! as a "white-passing" iñupiaq femme queer genderfluid person who loves jewelry, i am so stoked to see these beautiful indigenous-made earrings. i'm definitely checking out every single one of these artists, starting with my fellow iñupiaq member!
Every now and again we are blessed to come across things that show you how much bigger the world is than you might have thought before. I had no idea this was even a thing til today, but I'm glad I do now~
I haven't seen either of your content for years. Easily since the all girls part of Buzzfeed. Then here you are!! OMG I've missed you both so much! Also OMG I didn't realize Kristin was Native!!! AS ANOTHER NATIVE GIRL WHO LOVES HER BEADED EARRINGS GUUURRRLLLL these SLAY.
Your collection is so beautiful! I am Nish/ojibwe and it wasn’t until that I got into beaded earrings that I fell in love with wearing jewelry. Our native relatives are all so talented and it’s so cool to get to wear essentially a piece of art and culture on our bodies. (Also you are not wrong about native people loving beaded earrings, I have even been stopped (platonically/innocently) by guys who say they like my earrings lol.
This is the most stunning earring collection! I like that these are such special pieces. I don't buy a lot of jewelry, but when I do, it has to be something cool. These fit the bill. 😍
as a native person i love seeing people show off their beaded earrings, especially on a big platform like this !!
I am so happy to share them!!!
Let’s do Jen’s knife collection next
Honestly yes
This is what the people want!
Hell yeah!!! 👍
Fr I've been wondering how it's been looking

I love beaded things. I've made some beaded crochet so I know how much work these are. That alone would be admirable but these are also so beautiful.
