The Strawberry Teachings pendant is inspired by traditional bead work and the sacred meaning of the strawberry—known among many Nations as the “heart berry.”

In Indigenous teachings, the strawberry is considered one of the first medicines, representing love, healing, and the connection between mind, body, spirit, and emotion. Its heart shape reminds us to live with compassion, humility, and honesty, while its early arrival each season symbolizes renewal and new beginnings.

The strawberry also carries a deep connection to women and to the hands of bead-workers who have passed these teachings down through generations, each piece reflecting care, patience, and relationship to the land. It reminds us of our connection to Mother Earth, and to the natural systems that sustain life, including the pollinators who help these medicines grow.

Crafted entirely in 925 sterling silver, this pendant reflects those teachings through form and design.

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 meaningful piece representing love, renewal, and living from the heart.
