Either Way

Shana makes these hefty sterling rings and her uncle Guardian Wolf and his wife Little Wing (Cherokee, Hiltons, VA) cut and inlay the stones & bone.

“Either Way” is made in size 9.5. We can size up to 10.5 upon request - all other sizes please special order & allow 4-6 weeks for completion.

-Steatite (Black): Traditional Sacred Pipestone of the Eastern Band of Cherokee. It is often used in pipes that are meant to be shared “a Peace Pipe”. Wearing this stone when walking in peace helps the wearer know whether the person approaching has peaceful intentions or not. 

-Catlinite (Red): Traditional Sacred Pipestone is used in the making of pipes for personal use and also used in  jewelry pieces for personal journeys. These stones may only be legally mined by card carrying indigenous people. Wearing this stone helps the wearer and serves as a reminder to keep on the path of strong individual character and to walk with integrity, honesty, perseverance, courage, respect, trust, honor and humility.

-Bone: Buffalo (Buffalo bone is incredibly strong, durable, and hard to carve - the work honors the Buffalo)
