Custom Jewelry & Art by Haida, Northwest Coast, Indigenous Artists

Created specifically for the Sundance Resort in Utah by Haida artist Corey Bulpitt, this panel was designed to complement the handcrafted stained glass nearby while bringing the story of the land and its living ecosystems into the room. The Flicker, a bird known within Haida culture for its lucky feathers and use in regalia by high-ranking chiefs, and presence in the local Utah area, became a fitting subject for a project centred on honouring art and nature.

These two wall panels were commissioned with two spaces in mind - one space, a bustling office, and the other, a calm cabin by the lake. Each panel is hand-painted and features an original design by the artist. The black, red, and white panel features a forward-facing killer whale, while the green, yellow, black and white panel, inspired by a Naaxiin weaving colour palette, features a split salmon design. Made by award-winning Haida artist, Shoshannah Greene. 

This custom project was brought to life by Haida artist Raven Thorgeirson with her original hand-painted eagle and salmon drum design.

Inspired by themes of growth and renewal found in Shoshannah Greene's Nurse Log, this commissioned original watercolour reimagines the artwork through a new medium.

This piece was commissioned as an interlocking wedding band to accompany a gorgeous pear-shaped green-blue sapphire engagement ring. This custom yellow gold wedding band features intricately detailed engravings of a sea animal (whale) and a land animal (wolf), and the sun. This custom piece captures the natural beauty of both land and sea, embodying timeless craftsmanship and cultural significance. Expertly designed & crafted by one of the women artists who we have the pleasure of representing in our gallery, Meaghan McRae (Gitxsan Nation).

One-of-a-kind sterling silver custom rings by Gitxsan artist Meaghan McRae. The designs are a starry night wrap ring, a custom engagement band featuring a sunset and two orcas, and a salmon wrap ring. Each piece is a meaningful reflection of coastal life and northwest coast formline—with a story as unique as yours.

The Sterling Silver Jade Ring: Features a stunning BC Jade cabochon carved by  master jade carver Deborah Wilson.

Crafted with precision and skill, the ring itself is made of high-quality sterling silver and fabricated by the talented Gitxsan artist, Meaghan McRae. This exquisite piece not only showcases the natural beauty of BC Jade but also the beauty of northwest coast Indigenous art. This unique and meaningful wedding band captures the essence of nature and cultural heritage.

The 14K Gold and Sterling Silver Eagle Ring: Crafted by Haida artist James Sawyer, is a magnificent piece that captures the eagle. The ring features intricate details and a combination of two precious metals, 14K gold and sterling silver, enhancing its beauty. The eagle, revered in Haida culture for its strength and wisdom, is depicted in hand-engraved Haida formline design and cross-hatching. 

While exploring Haida Gwaii, the couple stopped by Crystal Cabin Gallery, where we shared special moments designing and discussing the inspiration for their wedding bands.

This sterling silver ring with a 14K gold hummingbird and flowers was made by Agnes Seaweed Wisden, ‘Namgis Nation, for a special client who loves Haida Gwaii and visits year after year. This year we were able to work with her to create the perfect piece. After the ring was complete, we arranged to have the ring delivered to her home. 

 “I received my ring and it is absolutely lovely - just what I was looking for!" - Client

A client reached out to us with a wedding date on the horizon. She dreamed of having a narrow gold engraved frog wedding band with diamond eyes for her husband, a ring that would connect the couple and honour her Gitxsan roots. We commissioned a ring for this special occasion by Gitxsan artist, Meaghan McRae.

“Seeing the ring blew me away, honestly 😍🥰.” - Client

These 14k yellow gold raven steals the sun and raven steals the moon matching wedding bands are by Haida artist Carmen Goertzen. They were created for customers from Ontario, Canada who were looking for new wedding bands to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary.

The rings had significant meaning for the couple. The wife is a sun worshipper and her husband loves the night - as is exemplified by his stunning night time nature photography. 

They received the rings on the eve of their anniversary, on a full moon, and were able to present the rings as a symbol of their love with friends and family at an intimate anniversary party. 

This was a special request from a friend on Haida Gwaii. She was looking for a Haida interlocking wedding band that would go with her engagement ring.

Haida artist Carmen Goertzen carefully crafted the perfect wedding band to interlock with the customer's engagement ring. The wedding band is sterling silver and features a hummingbird and a bear, each a symbol of the couple. The artist also created a matching wedding wrap ring for the husband, also with a hummingbird and bear. 

The engagement ring is made of white gold and features an amazing sapphire from the customer's grandmother. The ring is made by Lisa Fletcher. 

A well-planned out gift from a past visitor to Haida Gwaii. This customer from Victoria, British Columbia, Canada started planning his Christmas gifts in the summer. We highly recommend, as during Christmas time many of the artists are too busy to create custom pieces. 

This customer had three pendants created out of 14k yellow gold by Haida artist, Gregory Williams. One pendant was an orca for his wife, another pendant was an orca for his daughter, and the third pendant was a playful hummingbird for his granddaughter. This was a huge success for Christmas gifts, and all three ladies loved these pieces. We also provided the gold chains too!

A happy customer left us this review: 

"I recently purchased 3 gold pendants from April at Crystal Cabin Gallery. I am very pleased with the carvings she supplied and would recommend the Crystal Cabin for any Haida jewelry."

This special set of engagement & wedding bands was made of 14K white gold by Haida artist Ernest Swanson. This artist was tasked to create an interlocking wedding band for the wife. The interlocking ring set featured a diamond in the eye of the wolf which transformed into a wasgo ( a mythological sea wolf, which is part wolf & part killer whale) once the two interlocking rings were worn together. For the husband, the artist made two rings, one ring featured a wolf & killer whale and the other ring featured a wasgo. This was a challenging set to make due to the interlocking aspects of the wife's ring. It was very rewarding for the artist to create & for the clients to receive such a spectacular wedding set. 

This 14k yellow gold bangle bracelet features two hand-engraved hummingbird with their beaks meeting in the centre. It was custom-made by Haida artist, David Jones. A client ordered this special piece as a Christmas present for a family member who loves bangle bracelets. 

"I LOVE the pendant! It’s beautiful.  Really truly beautiful. Thank you so much April for handling everything for me. You are very professional and good at what you do. [My husband] is going to be very happy with his gift and I can hardly wait to give it to him!"

This 14K white gold raven ring was custom made by Haida artist Gregory Williams. It was a replacement ring for an original wedding band that was a bit too large, and unfortunately, was lost. The stippling and gentle lines are characteristic of this artist's work. 

A few words from the customer who was from Oregon, USA.

"Hi April, the ring arrived safe and sound Monday afternoon. It really is beautiful and a good fit. Thank Gregory for me!"
