From small kernels, great things grow. In Navajo culture in particular, corn is revered as both a food source and sacred part of certain ceremonies. In his Corn Tassel Earrings, Jared Yazzie (Diné/Navajo) beautifully portrays a staple of Navajo and Native American communities that also symbolizes human growth.
On a field of blue mother-of-pearl, a mighty cornstalk grows from a fertile field and is crowned with a golden tassel. Ripe ears of corn are ready for harvest, nourishing the community for another year and reminding you of your own growth. What seeds have you planted? What are you growing from, and what do you want to grow into?
In a unique twist, Jared has designed these earrings to be just as beautiful on the back as they are on the front. The reverse of his Corn Tassel Earrings features an embossed design that combines symbols for mountains and rain, combining the landscape of Jared's home with both the corn and rain that give life.
