A woman’s wedding day is easily one of the most memorable events of her life. It’s the time when all eyes are on her – when the ceremony is planned right down to the minutest detail. Traditionally, women dedicate plenty of time and thought to picking out the perfect wedding dress. Shouldn’t they devote similar resources and effort to narrowing down the best accessories as well?
Engagement rings will always be the star of the show. They are often flashy and anchored with an expensive diamond. It’s therefore up to the bride to complement the look of the ring with other jewelry. A sterling silver cuff bracelet plays elegantly off a silver banded ring, and some understated silver earrings work to round out the look. In all likelihood, you’ll only be taking this one trip down the aisle. Make it a memorable one.
No creature stood closer to the Great Spirit than the buffalo. Relying as they did on the flesh, skin, and bones of that animal for almost everything they needed - be it food, clothing, shelter, or tools - the people of the Plains addressed prayers directly to the generous buffalo, confident that the animal would serve as their intermediary with the Great Spirit. Those prayers brought many blessings. The sacred peace pipe was given to their ancestors by White Buffalo Calf Woman, a beautiful maiden who, after teaching the Sioux how to use the pipe changed herself into a white buffalo calf.
POWER…STRENGTH…PROSPERITY.
It is told that the spirit of the buffalo–will return to reunite the people, thereby mending the Sacred Hoop, which has no ending and no beginning. This will be a time for the prophecies to come together, for people of all colors to understand about Mother Earth, and to have respect for each others nations. This will be a time for healing. It’s no wonder that the native artists of our time use this extraordinary creature in many of their native american jewelry.
