Yilam (pronounced: yee-lahm)
Language/Meaning: Inspired by the Gubbi Gubbi/Kabi Kabi word for "to stand" or "standing," representing resilience, presence, and pride. (If you'd like to explore deeper verified translations, I can help with that too.)
Description:
“Yilam” is a declaration—of culture, of survival, of standing strong in who we are. The circular design speaks to the never-ending story of our people: past, present, and future. At its heart, the Aboriginal flag shines as a symbol of strength, connection to Country, and the fight for justice and recognition. These earrings aren’t just art—they are identity worn with pride. They remind us that we stand on sacred ground, and that we carry the fire of those who stood before us.
