Located over 1600 kilometres northwest of Vancouver, British Columbia lies the magical islands of Haida Gwaii, home to the northwest coast people, called the Haida. Here live world class Haida artists trained in the Haida tradition and culture of storytelling through artwork. 

Jewellery lovers, native art collectors and visitors to Haida Gwaii from around the world seek out Haida artwork for its unique style, quality and rich cultural history. 

Haida fine jewellery made of gold, silver and copper are carved locally with Haida motifs, such as eagle, raven, bear, frog, killer whale and human. These carvings represent cultural stories passed down from each generation.

With many different artists practicing Haida art, you will discover carving styles and jewellery as unique as the artists themselves. Here are some examples of popular jewellery styles used in contemporary Haida jewellery.
