CHOOSE BETWEEN DESIGN 1 (Linear) OR DESIGN 2! (Wider Oval)

These were made by Kewa Puebloan lapaidarian artist Ella Mae Garcia and are made in the traditional Pueblo "slab" style, which is one of the oldest forms of Pueblo jewelry known to the Ancestral Puebloan people. While slabs are most often seen with turquoise, Ella embraced the natural beauty of the tiger cowrie snail shell and adapted that same historic slab technique to create these distinctive, shell earrings.

Tiger Cowrie shell has incredible character and because of its cream and warm brown neutral tones, it pairs beautifully with a wide range of wardrobe colors. Ideal for someone who adores southwestern jewelry, yet prefers a simple, lightweight aesthetic,while still retaining a classic Pueblo look. They’ll quickly become your reliable go-to Puebloan earrings for everyday wear!

PLEASE READ BEFORE PURCHASING:

I am not a professional photographer, but I do try to do my best at giving you accuracy in color. Remember though that each monitor also plays a role in how they look, while some show the item to be more vivid, while others seem more dull.

To give you close up photos so I can provide you with all the fine detail, pictures tend to make the item appear much larger & much more more magnified than in actuality. So to get an accurate idea of how big these are, please either check them out being worn to get a rough idea (photo 3 & 10) or you can pull out a tape measure & compare to my given measurements in the photo
