"Basket of Berries" is inspired by the meaning of the strawberry in Cherokee culture, where it represents love, forgiveness and reconciliation. This piece blends silver and copper with vibrant stones including #8 Mine turquoise, Tyrone Ribbon turquoise, and Sonoran turquoise. The natural tones and textures come together to honor tradition, connection and the enduring spirit of renewal symbolized by the strawberry.
