Description
This is a pair of red apple coral heishi earrings. These match the 2mm and 3mm coral heishi necklaces in the shop.
Coral was introduced to Native Americans by the Spanish, who traded it alongside other goods. Initially, it was used to create rosaries and later incorporated into various forms of jewelry, such as heishi bead necklaces. The Zuni and Navajo tribes, in particular, have a rich tradition of using coral in their adornments.
Coral, particularly red coral, holds deep cultural significance among Native American tribes. It symbolizes life, vitality, and the blood of Mother Earth. Wearing coral jewelry is believed to invoke protection, prosperity, and healing powers from the earth’s spirits.
