Emu Spirit necklace | Original Indigenous jewellery by Debbie Wood

The “Emu Spirit Necklace” is a breathtaking piece from Debbie Wood’s “The NAIDOC Collection,” reflecting the artist’s deep-rooted connection to her Gomeroi heritage and traditional weaving techniques. This necklace is a harmonious blend of natural materials, including raffia, emu feathers, and quandong seeds, creating a unique and culturally rich accessory.

Debbie Wood’s meticulous craftsmanship is evident in the detailed weaving of the natural raffia, which forms the foundation of the necklace. The pendant features a series of interlocking circles, each intricately woven to highlight the texture and natural hues of the raffia. The addition of emu feathers brings a sense of movement and elegance to the design, making the necklace a standout piece.

The use of quandong seeds, known for their cultural significance and natural beauty, adds an extra layer of authenticity and connection to the Gomeroi land and traditions. These seeds are carefully incorporated into the design, enhancing the necklace’s aesthetic appeal and grounding it in sustainable practices.

As part of “The NAIDOC Collection,” the “Emu Spirit Necklace” aligns perfectly with the 2024 NAIDOC Week theme “Keep the Fire Burning! Blak, Loud & Proud.” This theme celebrates the resilience and vibrancy of First Nations cultures, and the “Emu Spirit Necklace” is a powerful representation of these enduring traditions.

The “Emu Spirit Necklace” is ideal for those who appreciate jewelry that carries deep cultural meaning. Whether worn as a statement piece or displayed as a work of art, this necklace brings a piece of Gomeroi heritage and artistic excellence into any collection. By owning this necklace, you are supporting the continuation of First Nations artistry and celebrating the rich traditions of the Gomeroi people.
