Musk Ox
Musk Ox, protected in their long blankets of fur, are often seen huddled together sheltering one another from harsh arctic winds. With long outer hairs offering protection from the elements and extremely soft under-fur named "qiviuq" acting as insulation, the Musk Ox have adapted beautifully to the arctic climate.
This symbol is available on all handcrafted Winterchild Silver necklaces, earrings, and bracelets.
Winterchild Silver Collection
Creative Process
Jewellery designer, Esther Winter draws each original Winterchild symbol by hand. The symbol is then forged into a hardened steel stamp. Next, the stamp is hammered into the sterling silver to create an imprint. Final touches include curving the silver and polishing.
Handcrafted in the Yukon, Canada.
