A Masterpiece of Beadwork With Met Gala Provenance
This exclusive beaded tipi medallion is the only one of its kind and carries significant cultural and fashion history. Originally worn at the Indigenous Met Gala in October 2025 at The Autry Museum in Los Angeles, it represents the fusion of traditional Plateau beadwork and contemporary Native couture.
Featuring our signature geometric tipi design inspired by our 2023 SWAIA Santa Fe Indian Market ribbon-winning piece “Colors of the Tipi,” this medallion is hand-stitched with thousands of premium beads in a striking palette of whites, blues, turquoise tones, and deep blacks.
Crafted exclusively with 24K gold seed beads and 24K gold-filled elements, each detail adds subtle brilliance and elevates the piece into true wearable fine art. The medallion is finished with real ermine tail accents, honoring traditional materials and their place in regalia.
