Authentic, West Coast, Indigenous Art: Beaver Ring

  • Designed by John Velten

    Born and raised in Kwikwetlem (Coquitlam), John's mixed roots stem from Europe, with German ancestry, and North-West Territories, with Dene ancestry. These contrasting lineages speak to his perspective, ability as an artist and affluence of different cultures.

  • The Beaver Symbol in Indigenous Art

    Well known for its industriousness and building skills, Beaver keeps to themselves and presents only when deemed absolutely necessary. They care little for the activities of humans, except when they feel that their work is discredited or their skill insulted. The busy creatures are also known to give wise advice.

  • Sterling Silver Ring, Made in BC, Canada

    "Foundation Ring" and all First Nations Gallery jewelry is made on reservation land, located in what is known as North Vancouver in British Columbia, Canada. Please check ring size options before purchasing.
