The Story Behind the Design

This pendant honors the Cherokee story of the Water Spider—not the small insect that glides across the water’s surface, but the one who swims beneath. She was the one who carried fire back to the animals, ensuring their survival. The design is adapted from historic shell gorget carvings, echoing the artistry of the Southeastern tribes.
