Eagle Transformation – Sterling Silver Wrap Ring
Eyes Closed. Spirit Rising.
Eagle Transformation is a deeply symbolic piece carved to honour the sacred journey of becoming. The human figure with its eyes closed represents the stillness required for true transformation — a moment of surrender and awakening. As the form shifts, the human is seen again within the shoulder of the eagle’s wing, illustrating the process of becoming the winged one, rising into a higher state of vision, truth, and spiritual awareness.
The eagle, in Cree and many Turtle Island traditions, is a messenger between worlds — the one who carries our prayers to the Thunderbird, who then brings them to the Creator. In this design, the star represents the eagle’s flight through the heavens, guided by purpose and clarity.
This piece was originally hand-carved in 2017, rooted in the visual language of Pacific Northwest Coast design, whose balance, symmetry, and spirit storytelling have deeply influenced my work. I respectfully carry these teachings into this carving — acknowledging the generations of artists and mentors from the coast whose wisdom continues to guide my hand.
Each ring is cast in .925 sterling silver using the lost wax casting method, preserving the depth and detail of the original carving.
Each ring is packaged in a gift box and made with intention.
