The Grandmother’s Heart Berry pendant is inspired by traditional Cree beadwork, where the strawberry is known as the “heart berry”—a symbol of love, healing, and the teachings carried through generations.

In many Indigenous teachings, the strawberry is one of the first medicines to appear in the spring, representing renewal, balance, and the connection between mind, body, spirit, and emotion. Its shape mirrors the human heart, reminding us to live with kindness, humility, and compassion. The strawberry is also deeply connected to women—the life-givers—and to the beadworkers who carry culture forward through their hands, stitching stories, teachings, and identity into every piece.

This medicine is sustained through relationship—with the land, with the seasons, and with the pollinators like the bees who make its growth possible. It is a reminder of our responsibility to care for Mother Earth and all living systems that support life.

Crafted entirely in 925 sterling silver, this large pendant reflects those teachings with a bold and meaningful presence.

Paired with a sterling silver chain, and finished with the artist’s signature and 925 hallmark on the back, this piece carries authenticity and intention.

A powerful piece representing love, renewal, and living from the heart.
