These unique sterling silver Loon earrings by Musqueam artist Chris Sparrow are laser engraved, creating a juxtaposition of polished light areas and oxidized dark areas. The earrings also include a 14k gold eye detail on. The loon symbolizes peace and tranquility.
Chris Sparrow is a Coast Salish artist from the Musqueam Nation. He learned to carve from his late father, Irving Sparrow and by age nine he had completed his first carving. Sparrow’s unique carving style is traditional with a contemporary fluidity that’s influenced by the flow and movement of the land and sea animals he observed as a child on the Salish Seas.
Although best known as a wood carver, Sparrow works in many mediums. Such as glass, paint, screen printing, soapstone and silver. In 2025, he was commissioned to create a gold medal for the HSBC SVNS Vancouver rugby tournament and also held his first solo exhibit “Unique Salish Art” at Science World in Vancouver. Sparrow currently lives and works in Campbell River, BC.
