These earrings are the first that I made personally when I begin making jewelry. The hummingbird is a special bird to me. It can fly in any direction and its survival depends on its freedom. Hummingbird's can not be caged or they will die. These earrings honor my Native ancestry and are made from turquoise gemstones, red seed beads, and metal. These earrings are sold as a set with the bracelet which is made with turquoise gemstones, shell, and red seed beads on an elastic string for added comfort and flexibility.
