Rosary True Red Cranberry

This incredible heirloom Rosary is made from the True Red Cranberry bean. Each seed has been lovingly drilled and suspended on a hand made chain. The True Red Cranberry bean was saved from extinction by early 20th century seed collector John Withee. After reading a description of it in a 1700′s cookbook, he spent 11 years searching for it. It was a one time staple of the Abnaki Indians and limbermen in the Northeast. We offer Rosaries on a per piece basis. The seeds and stations may vary from piece to piece.

Spanish Tolosana Jewelry

This seed is so beautiful, with its spectacular light to dark markings it shines on its own on a handmade chain of coated wire. The copper colored findings enhance the browns in the seed. As with all our other seeds, these are organically grown, hand harvested and shelled, naturally dried and drilled one by one.

The Spanish Tolosana bean, also known as “The Prince”, was carried by early Spanish Missionaries from the New World to the Old. Today, this bean is rare in the New World, and is not preserved in either Canadian or US seed banks.

Paint Dry Bean Jewelry

Paint Dry Bean, an offshoot of the famed Yellow Eye, is listed as an endangered dry brush bean by seedstewards.com. This is one of the historic open-pollinated (meaning you can save and replant the seed) varieties we are off helping to keep in production. Here the beautiful pattern on the seed is set off by the addition of lead free plated pewter rounds, made in the USA. The toggle clasps are easy to hook, and the euro style earwires make for a secure hold. We are proud to be growing this lovely bean; helping to ensure it’s survival.

Hopi Blue Flour Corn Jewelry

Our Hopi Blue Flour Corn jewelry is striking, with its natural hues of blues to violet. This corn, grown by the Hopi Indians in Arizona for well over 800 years (some reports say it may be closer to 2000) is complimented by the royal blue of genuine Lapis. Sterling silver accent beads, lobster claw clasps, and earwires add some shine. This natural set goes from denims to dressy with ease. This is one of the many historic corn varieties we have chosen to grow and display in our jewelry.

Cherokee Trail of Tears Jewelry

Cherokee Trail Of Tears jewelry

Our Cherokee Trail Of Tears jewelry incorporates this beautiful, shiny black bean with red coral and sterling silver beads, clasps, and earwires. This seed’s poignant history is that it was carried by the Cherokee along the Trail Of Tears, their infamous forced trek from their homeland in Georgia to resettlement in Oklahoma during the winter of 1838-39. We most humbly offer this jewelry in honor of the over 4,000 men, women, and children who perished along the way.
