Contemporary Design Rooted in Northern Material Culture.

Disí
Bearing the Tlingit word for “moon,” the Disí Earrings embody luminous contrast — the meeting of wild fur and sculpted metal, inspired by the quiet power of Northern nights.
Design with Intention
This design house explores contemporary form through northern material culture; fur, metal, and stone shaped by land, lineage, and lived experience. Each collection is released in limited runs and crafted in Yukon with deliberate restraint and intention.
From the Studio
Before jewelry, there was pigment. Original earth pigment and botanical ink works explore the same material conversation found in the collections.
