KJK Jewelry honors this powerful heritage with a modern collection that blends traditional wampum with luminous amethyst gemstone, celebrating cultural resilience through refined design and meaningful artistry. Wampum, the handcrafted shell bead originally created by Eastern Woodlands tribes from quahog clam shells, holds a deep legacy of storytelling, ceremonial exchange, and treaty recording—dating back to before 1510 in New York.
