Kristin Shows Her Entire Beaded Earring Collection | Kitchen & Jorn 

Let’s do Jen’s knife collection next

as a native person i love seeing people show off their beaded earrings, especially on a big platform like this !!

Buying beaded earrings from Indigenous people supports the Native American community 🥰 If you are not sure about buying them because you're not-native yourself- when you buy authentic native made you have bought the right to wear them, we wont sell you what is inappropriate to wear 😊 You can politely ask what Tribe an artist is a member of, and where their family is from.

THOSE HAWK EARRINGS!!!😮 Never have I been so upset to not be an earring person as I was when those came up. The whole collection is stunning, but those are fucking ART

"Native people LOVE beaded earrings" I literally buy earrings from every single small business beader I can afford to, so you're not wrong. I'm not even Turtle Island, I'm Taino-Kuba/Taino-Kuboa XD WE JUST BE LOVING BEADS.

Me: I don’t own ANY beaded earrings.🤔 Watches and admires ALL of the earrings! Me: Well shit, now I NEED some beaded earrings too! 😆

Kristin is going to share her earring collection which I appreciate. BE NORMAL BE NORMAL BE NORMAL BE NORMAL BE NORMAL BE NORMAL BE NORMAL BE NORMAL BE NORMAL BE NORMAL BE NORMAL BE NORMAL BE NORMAL

I have a pronunciation note! Someone might have already said this, and you got it right with Joey’s intro, but “anishinaabe” and “kwe” both end with an “aye” sound, like in “way”! Also, a bonus is “kwe” means woman in anishanaabemowin (or the Ojibwe language) 😊 This makes me so happy- I’m Cree and trying to connect back where I can, and part of that has been re-learning to flat bead and learn how to make earrings over the last year.

I hope Miss Kianga is featured on the channel. Also, being updated on the drop during Pre-Op is iconic.

I love that you guys are so careful to be inclusive and to welcome any corrections of mispronunciations. This is a beautiful collection and a wonderful way to represent Kristin's heritage.

I love this. As a native woman, my favorite thing to do is sort and coordinate my earrings with my outfits.

Just a note on the bloodroot earrings at 10:04. You called the flower a daisy but actually its the white 8-12 petaled flower of the bloodroot plant. Thanks for sharing your beaded earring collection, they're all so pretty!

Awe thank you so much for the shoutout!!! I’m glad you love the earrings ❤❤❤❤❤ -Mel from eversickk 🌹

Im so glad you mentioned that non Native people can wear beaded earrings bc I was halfway through a Google search bc these earrings were absolutely stunning but im not Native. Thank you for sharing your collection Kristen!!

Kristin, I love seeing you discover your Native heritage! Especially through things like these beautiful accessories which are more a part of your personality than sitting down and sifting through dry historical sources.

The way I instantly spotted sweetgrass_beads 😍😍😍 her beadwork opened my world. I’m Lakota but grew up as a little pop punk gremlin. Heather’s work was the first time I saw traditional work in a non traditional way.

Pinned comment for corrections!!! UPDATE CORRECTION ONE: Heather Stewart is @sweetgrass_beads NOT @sweatgrass_beads! Also FOUND THE ARTIST who made the raised beadwork flowers, they were made by Kristin Jock (@stinskiii on IG)

idk if anyone has said this yet, but for the 1st pair of earring when you said “dee-nay”, I myself and Diné, and it’s pronounced “di-neh” and you pronounce the “neh” part faster than the “di” part. I’m also so happy you showed all sorts of beaded earring because I do beadwork myself and I love that you can show these off. I’m so jealous of your collection.

I’m so glad us native people are getting more recognization for our artistic skills, thank you for sharing 🙏🏽

It makes me so happy to see how comfortable Kristen has gotten with her culture and identity

"Kwe" is pronounced like... kway. Anishinabe use a double vowel spelling for our language, in which a single letter E makes a long A sound. I LOVE YOUR EARRINGS! The little berry baskets are so CUTE!!

those red tailed hawk earrings were literally so beautiful that i actually started crying. like all of these are gorgeous and/or fun and have INCREDIBLE craftsmanship that blew me away--but i just DID NOT EXPECT the red tailed hawk earrings. holy fucking goddamn shit. never have earrings or any piece of jewelry, no matter how painstakingly crafted and no matter how beautiful, have moved me to tears. but those? fuck me, dude. i replayed that section over and over and just kept staring at them. fucking AMAZING. thank you so much for sharing your collection! you've got a pair for just about every occasion--which means you clearly need to keep going until you have at least TWO for every occasion, and then some. lol

Kristen is the most powerful power puff woman in the world and don’t you forget that Mojo-JoJo and HIM. I love Kristen and Jen ❤

the protective hiss when the collection came out is such a MOOD

Celebrating National Indigenous Peoples Day- today in Canada, this was the best video to pop up. ❤

im so happy that shes making them mainstream because our art is so beautiful

Oh this is wonderful! As an reconnecting Afro-Indigenous artist it's sooo nice listening to people gush about their beadwork. It's especially great hearing the names of some of my favorite beaders. And seeing the owner of the beautiful beadwork they spent months on being a creator I love is all the better. Thanks so much for this, it made my night.

Omg Kristin's taste in earrings is exquisite!

these are all so beautiful, thanks for sharing! I gasped at the hawk ones, the detail and texture are stunning. I've gotten really into earrings in the past few years and I would love to add some native made earrings to my collection, I'll definitely be checking out some of these artists!

The Ms Kianga pair with the purple shell has very 1920s/30s vibes - so pretty! Not like jewelry from then but reminiscent of art and architecture movements during those decades.

I actually used to work at an online bead retail store, and though I never got into making beaded jewelry myself, my coworkers did. I know how much work goes into making these and have so much respect for it as an art form and for the people that make them. It’s a gorgeous collection Kristin! I couldn’t possibly choose a favorite pair but I really loved those little rainbow ones, and holy crap-the hawks! I don’t think I’ve seen sequins used like this before. What amazing work!!

I love watching channels that I enjoy sharing their passions like this. Absolutely enraptured the entire time. Like when Trixie Mattel goes through her Barbies and gives us the deets behind their significance and the experience buying them.

Me seeing Kristin’s earrings pop up in videos: Oh those are so cool! I wonder how many she has? Me seeing this vid: OH! THESE ARE GORGEOUS AND I NEED THOSE CLOUD ONES!💖

I love love love seeing beaded earrings collections. Thank you for talking about your Indigenous identity, especially as someone who has found greater connection to that part of your identity as an adult ♥️

Thanks for sharing your gorgeous collection with us, as well as the stories behind the individual pairs and the creators who made them!! Really, really beautiful!

Came for a standard earring collection. Freaked over this AMAZINGLY CURATED AND REFINED EARRING COLLECTION!!! Our Native American homies DO THE DAMN THANG with earrings, yaaaaaas!!! :)

I prefer smaller earrings for myself, but I can absolutely appreciate the beauty and work that goes into those pieces of art. Years ago I attempted to make bracelets with seed beads. Just getting the right needle and thread to be able to do patterns was a struggle! Nothing worse than getting thread that is thin enough to go through beads multiple times for complex patterns, only for it to break and your work to fall apart.

For the blood root earrings, the little daisies on top I think are actually the blood root flowers! They are beautiful!

What a beautiful collection and a really cool way to engage in your heritage in a day-to-day way.

Loved the Lucky Charm earrings.

I remember a few years ago when Kristin was so anxious to show her ears at all

Love this!!! I’m a indigenous person who also does beadwork so it was wonderful to see this. Very deadly earrings 😋

I loved my Native American art history class in the spring (sadly I had to withdraw for my physical health). I was so excited to work on the final project was to recreate traditional indigenous art with traditional materials. I was trying so hard to find quills to do my project. I literally texted my best friend to ask for horse hair. (Sorry if this doesn’t make entire since my nerve damage gives me bad brain fog). I have several indigenous friends who really were excited to see how well I did. I was going to recreate the bag without the shoulder strap that was in the first indigenous picture taken (It was some christian indigenous leader) I still actually read my book I have for that class because it is so interesting and I love to learn new things. All of the beadwork of your earring are gorgeous

I have come back to this video so many times in the last few months! I don't have much personal interest in beaded earrings but I love listening to people talk about subjects they are passionate about and you can tell that Kristin loves talking about beaded earrings!

what a gorgeous collection! as a "white-passing" iñupiaq femme queer genderfluid person who loves jewelry, i am so stoked to see these beautiful indigenous-made earrings. i'm definitely checking out every single one of these artists, starting with my fellow iñupiaq member!

woah! I had no idea beads could be so beautiful! truly works of art. my wallet does not thank you! 😆

It was nice to finally see the collection! Keep up the collector’s instincts.

*tunes in, in Native American* (I’m in the middle of making a very large world turtle stuffie that I’m beading for my spouse for our anniversary and this is a 💋 perfect video to vibe with)

The hawk earrings, STAHHHHP! Amazing!!!

I love this, a Lil hack I use to keep my large earrings secure is I put bandaid skin behind my ear hole and poke the earrings thru it saves the lobe.❤

I love how supportive and excited Jenn gets for things that bring her friends joy, even if it isn’t her personal style. She’s the hype friend everyone needs! 💜💜

The super subtle blue ombré on the cloud earring by rissa is GORGEOUS

Omg I'm so obsessed with beadwork. I follow so many artists on ig and their skills are mesmerizing. Someday I would love to get a pair 😻

I love that you not only showed off your collection, but you gave credit where credit was due, to the best of your abilities. Think in gonna look into starting my collection up again. I lost all my jewelry in a fire, and I 5 pairs of beaded earrings...😢

This delights my collector gene without activating it. 11/10 what an absolute treasure trove of a collection!

Thank you for this video :) And thank you for supporting Indigenous bead artists! I was surprised to see a more mainstream show simply talking about how awesome beadwork is and this definetely cheered me up 🤗💜

The Beads Knees!!! Hahahah! I can’t! That’s fantastic 😂

OMG WHAT ah I can't wait to watch this after work - I know I'm gonna find some amazing new artists to follow! Thanks so much for showcasing your incredible earrings, and much love from this kichwa-puruha enby living on six nations territory! 🙏

14:32 those are made by kristin jock! shes local beader back home on my reservation 😊

I went to Morning Bird's site after watching this video & fell in love with the jewelry. I bought 6 pairs of earrings & have gotten many compliments on them.

Kristin, thank you for sharing your beautiful collection with us. I love how excited you are about all of these amazing pieces and how Jen is such a friend to be so interested in your treasurers.

my best friend is muscogee and she and her grandma make beaded earrings for themselves, they're always so beautiful. i love being able to see your collection! 😊

Omg, you have an amazing collection. I have some copper canoe earrings and know the feeling of excitement when the artist has earrings available.

WOW STUNNING. No collection is too big! I make criosanna (traditional Irish belts) and they make me sooo happy. They're my babies!!

ALWAYS buy the earrings that yell at you to Take Them Home! Those are all gorgeous 💕

Bought my first beaded earrings last week after being inspired by yours! They are similar to your "fire" ones :)

It was so nice to see y'all sharing something that you super care about, that you enjoy!

I love the mix of the traditional art form of the beaded earrings with modern references

The flames earrings and the sword and heart braids decorations are a goth dream! 0.o So lovely! Ohmygosh, the Itchy and Scratchy were BEADED??? They are so detailed, I love The Simpsons so much! XD And the rainbow rain from the cloud earrings, so gorgeous!

High key the video I have been waiting for!! If you ever open a po box I'd send earings. I have been watching both you for soo long gahh I'm so here for your indigenous journey

I love the beaded earrings.

the universe saw me looking for art by first nations/native/indigenous people a few days ago and was like "i got you, girl"

Such beautiful culture represented in one-of-a-kind art! So beautiful. Kristin, your collection is insane and I am in love with the bows.

yessssss. THIS is the video I've been waiting for!!!!!!

"I consider Christmas to be my aftercare for Halloween" is a mood.

The way I loved this video from the moment I read the title

I am in love, you did amazing with the info, I love anything Kitchen and Jorn does truly.❤❤❤❤

thank you sm for showing us your collection!!! It’s been a while since I’ve beaded because of college but I’m on a break right now. Seeing the beadwork/quillwork really inspired me and I think I’m gonna pick it up again (matter of fact literally right now). I’m sure I’ve got a lot of WIPs I need to finish 😭

@13:21 THE SCULPTURAL LOOK?? I gasped out loud. All beadwork is art, but that is incredible.

“I’m so powerful I need to knock it off” 😂 fuggin FELT!! Kristin !! I started some small collections here and there last year and I feel it’s become a wee bit of a problem 🤏🏼

Copper Canoe Woman is an amazing contemporary handmade designer and she just dropped some beautiful serpent rainbow earrings for pride month.

I've not being able to close my mouth for almost the entire video. These earings are GORGEOUS and the artits who made them are SO talented! 💜

Thank you so much for sharing your collection and the stories behind them! They are such works of art!

I am allergic to almost every metal, so I got one this recently and was able to unhook them and put them on gold earrings and I was so happyyyyy

I’m beading a hat for my niece while watching this and I can’t help but smile watching Kristin loving her earrings ❤️

i don't even have pierced ears but i HAPPILY watched this entire video. they're all so beautiful!!

“They fit in my hand!” Omg. I resemble that statement.

I require an update on this collection at least once a year, the amount of times I've rewatched this video is honestly uncountable at this point 😂

Your collection is so beautiful! I am Nish/ojibwe and it wasn’t until that I got into beaded earrings that I fell in love with wearing jewelry. Our native relatives are all so talented and it’s so cool to get to wear essentially a piece of art and culture on our bodies. (Also you are not wrong about native people loving beaded earrings, I have even been stopped (platonically/innocently) by guys who say they like my earrings lol.

These are all stunning! Fantastic pieces of wearable art. I love the wide variety of styles and motifs.

Thank you for sharing! I didn't know beaded earrings were as big a thing before you started sharing about them. They're so beautiful!

I don't have my ears peirced but I will watch this entire video

This is so cool! I love seeing videos to completely open my eyes to a new side of culture and I haven’t gotten to experience before!!

I am blown away! These are all so beautiful!!

The excited gasp I let out when I saw the turtles

i am LOSING my mind over the berry baskets

"Not to brag but I DO have a prob;em" is such a vibe I think it has immediately embedded itself in my vernacular

This is a beautiful collection from such talented people. I’m blown away!

Yasss Kristen! Be proud of your collection of beaded earrings! Be proud of yourself and who you are xxxx

I'm hollering at the Itchy & Scratchy ones!! Also happy (late birthday) Kitchen!!!
