Sámi Ronan Craft creates Sámi-inspired crafts and unique symbolic jewelry pieces. Alexandra’s paternal grandmother was Sámi, and came from a strong lineage of Sámi women. Alexandra also has ancestors from the Cameron Clan in the Highlands of Scotland. Her maternal great-grandmother was a master weaver, and her great grandfather excelled in the art of leather braid work. Ronan began pursuing the craft of Silversmithing several years ago and incorporates metaphysical symbolism in his designs.
Our materials such as reindeer leather, pewter/silver cord, and antler buttons are imported from Sweden. Bracelets and Coffee Bags are hand braided and sewn. Capes are handsewn from Nordic wool. I use traditional bead weaving techniques such as the peyote and gourd stitch, using only the highest quality precision-cut Aiko seed beads from Japan We make pendants, earrings, and bracelets, incorporating a variety of silversmith techniques using copper and sterling silver.
We respectfully acknowledge that the Filberg Festival takes place on the unceded traditional territory of the K'omoks First Nation, Gila 'kasla...Hay ch q'a'.
