The RED Collection

To the Navajo (Diné), the color red (łichxíí’) is reminiscent of the crimson earth of Diné bikeyah, the revered homeland between the four sacred mountains. In jewelry, red represents coral, the scared shell worn by women to honor the blood of kinship and the life-giving waters of Mother earth. We have chosen this red color to honor feminine strength. Wear these pieces as a reminder of the powerful women who inspire you everyday. The strongest women we know are our artisans and we are proud to name each cuff of the RED collection after them.

Meet Dru

At Etkie, we are proud to highlight the incredible talent and dedication of our artisans. Drucilla has stated that before ETKIE she had nothing.  After a severe accident in 2008, Dru lost everything. Now she claims she has "a ride" and stable housing options. She has raised two children as a single mother. She learned beading from her grandmother whom she lived with for many years on the Navajo Reservation. Some of her fondest memories are making fry bread on an open fire at sunset. Drucilla divides her time between Albuquerque and a home on the reservation. She often takes care of elder members needing transportation to the doctor.Each bracelet she creates is a unique piece of art, blending history, skill, and beauty. Her passion for her craft not only results in stunning jewelry but also supports the vibrant artisan community in New Mexico. Explore her exquisite creations and discover how her artistry brings a touch of Southwestern heritage to your personal style.
