Nancy Dawson: SILVER EAGLES Handcrafted First Nations Jewellery

Discover the beauty and meaning behind Nancy Dawson's SILVER EAGLES Handcrafted First Nations Jewellery, a stunning collection of handcrafted Indigenous pieces that blend cultural tradition with contemporary design. Nancy Dawson, an artist from the Kwaguilth Nation on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, creates jewellery that is both a personal expression and a reflection of her rich heritage.

Born in Alert Bay, Nancy was raised in a family deeply rooted in artistic tradition. Her mother, Catherine Beans, was from the Mamaleleqala-awe-qwa-sot-enox nation, and her father, Don Gesinghaus, was a skilled wood and metal worker. These familial ties to the arts have greatly influenced Nancy’s creative journey, allowing her to merge traditional Indigenous motifs with modern elegance in each piece.

Nancy Dawson's SILVER EAGLES jewellery is known for its intricate silverwork, often inspired by the natural world, including animals, ocean life, and sacred symbols. These designs are not just ornamental; they carry deep cultural significance and represent the teachings, stories, and values of the Kwaguilth people. Every piece created by Nancy Dawson is a one-of-a-kind artwork that resonates on a personal and spiritual level.

In addition to her personal artistry, Nancy is committed to supporting and mentoring emerging artists. Through her studio, Silver Eagles, located in Victoria, B.C., she continues to pass on her skills and knowledge to the next generation, including her nephews, Vincent Henson and Chance Gesinghaus, ensuring the continuity of Indigenous artistry.
