A LITTLE ABOUT WARREN NIETO
Everything Warren creates comes directly from his ancestral Puebloan roots..He gets his inspirations from a 'higher power' & his 'spiritual guides' who give him the 'eye' that allow his hands to create his traditional Pueblo jewelry. He shares a Pueblo story in the jewelry he makes by giving us a traditional timeline that dates as far back to his Anasazi/Chaco Canyon roots.
He has been at it for years now & was taught the 'old school' techniques from his grandfather Larry Tortalita. He cuts his own heishi beads,uses many shells & stones that he hand cuts & shapes for his mosaic work. You are guaranteed nothing less than, a real Puebloan feel with anything of his!
*************************
THE EARRINGS:
Made with all hand cut materials where they are horizontally laid & stacked in a rectangular shaped earring.. They are designed with cuts of blue Kingman turquoise-lime colored Gaspeite & orange Spiny oyster shell & Lapis. If you zoom in on the top portion(5th photo to be specific),you'll see where Warren used the same materials,but in a 'crushed' form that lay within the brass outline.Triangular cuts of Mother of Pearl & black jet are used as an accent.
**In the last photo are a pair of earrings by Warren that can be found under "Earrings 3"! I also have necklaces in stock & will be adding a phenomenal necklace, hopefully in the next few days!**

Please Note:
In order to give you close up photos so I can provide you with all the detail, photos can tend to make the item look much more larger & everything is more magnified than in actuality. Close up's make the item look so large & then you get it in hand & you are shocked since the item is much smaller than how they looked in the photos..So to get an accurate idea of how big these are,please either check them out being worn to get a rough idea (photos) or you can pull out a tape measure & compare to my given measurements
