Often found flitting across Piikani tipis and beadwork designs, butterflies are the bringers of good dreams. Piikani/Blackfeet artist and Inspired Natives® Collaborator John Isaiah Pepion drew inspiration from the traditional butterfly designs of Plains Indians to create our Butterfly Dreams Earrings, combining classic symbolism with modern style in this striking dangle earring.
John is famous for adapting traditional Blackfeet designs to fit modern aesthetics and stories, blending the traditional and contemporary in new ways. In his Butterfly Dreams Earrings, stylized gold butterfly wings are accented by white mother-of-pearl inlay, giving beautiful movement and a subtle gold sparkle with every step you take.
The body of our Butterfly Dreams Earrings are gold plated over stainless steel with mother of pearl inlay at the "wing" tips and in the circular post. The post portion is also stainless steel, making them a comfortable wear for even sensitive ears.
