4KINSHIP is honored to have Maka/Keixe Yaxti, and her stunning collection Moonture at our webstore!.

This pair of earrings is designed to pay homage to those worn by Howl on-screen in “Howl’s Moving Castle.” The blazing jade has facets that accentuate the gleaming tear-shaped drop shape. They are cradled above by a ruby-colored oval crystal. The dangling jewels hang from yellow gold-plated huggie-style hoop earrings for secure closure.

LENGTH: 2-1/2"

Biography: 

Maka/Keixe Yaxti, a Tlingit woman from Yaakwdaat, carries a rich heritage rooted in her clan's migration along the Copper River from the North. Yaakwdaat, a village in the Northern reaches of Southeast Alaska, is where her ancestors have long settled. Maka belongs to the Raven moiety of the Copper River Clan, specifically the House of the Owl, and is a child of the /Kanien'kehá:ka people. Her early education came from the land itself, with her maternal grandparents serving as its interpreters. Her understanding of humanity was deeply influenced by traditional practices, including harvest, song and dance, language, ceremony, and genealogy. Maka’s creative work emerges from a place where storytelling meets a vision for artistic abundance. She remains a lifelong student of Tlingit history and art.

Maka’s brand, Moonture | @moon.ture  seeks to create at the intersection of cultural intention and coherent emotion. Drawing from their Lingít, Kanien'kehá:ka and Māori heritage, Maka and her partner Aorere center the soul of their work in intention, energy, and Mana. The vision of the work is a reality where existing as a Tangata Whenua/Indigenous person is to thrive.
