Celebrate sacred womanhood, cultural pride, and ancestral strength with the A Skirt with a Story Necklace by Emily Kewageshig. Designed in collaboration with Oscardo for the Gallery Collection, this graceful teardrop-shaped pendant showcases Anishinaabe artist Emily Kewageshig's expressive A Skirt with a Story (Une jupe chargée d'histoire) artwork. Depicting a woman wearing a traditional ribbon skirt with hair streaming into the breeze, the design honours the ribbon skirt as a sacred garment representing identity, spiritual resilience, and the enduring power of Indigenous women across generations.
Crafted from hypoallergenic, nickel-free materials, this elegant pendant features a vibrant printed art insert beneath a smooth protective dome, suspended from a delicate adjustable chain. Mounted on an authentic story card detailing its cultural origin, it makes a meaningful gift, an empowering personal keepsake, or a daily reminder of resilience that directly supports the artist through royalties.
