Handmade Jewelry From Shauna Zeck


Beautiful handmade jewelry artist, Shauna Zeck is inspired by what is always surrounding her: earth, sky and water. She honors her Lakota heritage by listening to Uncis, the Grandmothers, understanding what it means to be patient and letting her beadwork "speak". Her one-of-a-kind hand beaded jewelry is refreshingly unique and vibrantly beautiful. Self taught in this art form, Shauna studied how to interpret and construct traditional ways of beading of several first nations. She uses her beadwork to bridge the present to the past, “I don’t tell my hands what to bead or how, that comes from Uncis, the Grandmothers.” Click her to see her work.
