Beaded earrings are a rich indigenous cultural tradition. With so many beadwork choices out there, you may be wondering, “Why should I buy Cheyanne Symone Earrings? What makes them the BEST beaded earrings?
The three things to consider when purchasing beaded earrings include:
- Authenticity
- Quality
- Business practices
- Beauty
- Repairs & Replacements
- Customer Service
1. Beaded Earring Authenticity
Authenticity is an essential consideration before purchasing beaded earrings. Many businesses mass produce and exploit cultural traditions for profit. Cheyanne Symone is an indigenous woman-owned business that employs indigenous beaders so that you can be confident in our products’ authenticity.
Native American Beaded Earrings and General Beadwork
Beaded earring techniques are passed down through families. Because of the cultural significance, tradition, and time involved with these pieces, it is best to always buy Native American beaded earrings and other beaded jewelry from an indigenous artist.
Our founder, Brittany, has chosen a professional beadwork artistry path through Cheyanne Symone, as have many talented beaders.
While some beaders choose to sell their work, it isn't confined to a profession, as it holds cultural and spiritual significance. Beadwork is not only used for earrings, bracelets, and necklaces- it is also essential for regalia. You'll find beaded regalia in places like powwows, and you can see the artist's personality in the beadwork.
So whether they're made as part of a business venture or for one's friend, family, or self, these earrings are a vital part of cultural heritage. For this reason, it is important to purchase beaded jewelry from an indigenous or Native American artist rather than a store where it is mass-produced. Authenticity matters.
2. Beaded Earring Quality
Cheyanne Symone offers *THE BEST* quality beaded earrings you’ll find. How are we so sure?
The quality of a beaded earring is defined not only by the creation process, but by the materials used; and at Cheyanne Symone, we only use the best materials.
Materials We Use for Beaded Earrings
As mentioned earlier, all of Cheyanne Symone’s Native American beaded Jewelry is handcrafted in the USA. We take special care to make sure the materials are as durable as they are beautiful.
Freshwater Pearls
Freshwater Pearls come in a wide range of unique shapes and colors. Coming from oysters in lakes and ponds, freshwater pearls have equal parts character and beauty.
While each set of our high-quality beaded earrings we make are very similar, due to the nature of the medium, freshwater pearls will vary slightly in color. We make it a priority to always select the best pearls for use.
Japanese Glass Beads
The Japanese glass beads are known for their high quality, beautiful color, and consistency. We've paired these glass beads with our Freshwater Pearls because they durable and beautiful.
If you’re vegan or are interested in cruelty-free jewelry, our glass-center beaded earrings are the best choice!
Recycled Sterling Silver Posts
Our beaded style earrings all come with Large 925 recycled sterling silver posts. We chose these because of the material quality. We want you to know that these posts will last.
A lot of other manufactures try to skimp out on the posts to save costs. We want yours to last forever.
In addition to being durable, these earring posts are recycled. This reduces the life cycle impact of our earrings, because it avoids the extraction of virgin material through mining and other intensive operations. What’s best for the environment is best for all of us!
Cruelty-Free Ultra Suede Backing
Our earrings are backed by cruelty-free ultra suede. We wanted the durability and feel of suede while also being socially responsible. That's a big part of our company beliefs! We also want to make sure our vegan friends have the opportunity to purchase our best-quality earrings. 🖤
