Kewa Puebloan Artist-WARREN NIETO-Small Multi Color-Mosaic Inlay-Traditional Pueblo Earrings-Very Wearable!
THE ARTIST:
Kewa Puebloan artisan, "Warren Nieto" is an artist who stays true to his Puebloan roots & has followed in his centuries old 'Ancestral Puebloan" footsteps that date centuries back in the Chaco Canyon/Mesa Verde areas in America.. There's not much he doesn't know that he can't tell you about & it's these roots of his that go into the jewelry he makes,with each being deeply connected to his Puebloan culture. Each piece will have a Puebloan story, a meaning as if to "paint the story" about life in the Pueblo into his work...He is one of the most humble & kindest artisans I know & am a proud carrier of his truly tasteful & artistic works.
*****************************************
THE EARRINGS
Very wearable in size,these traditionally made earrings are made with an array of colorful materials known to the Kewa Pueblo.Each stone & shell is cut & shaped by hand,which then are carefully placed atop of a Pen shell backing.
These will compliment any southwestern jewelry collection & especially with the focus on Kewa Pueblo jewelry.
** I do want to mention that Warren always gives a lengthy ear stem & he told me that if it is too long, you can take nail clippers to cut any excess off .A finger nail file can smooth out any rough edges.**

PLEASE READ BEFORE PURCHASING:
*****I do not consider myself a 'professional photographer" but I do try my hardest to give you photos that are 'realistic" in color as much as I can. Each monitor varies and also plays a role in how vibrant or less vibrant as something appears. If you need more photos, in different areas of lighting, please let me know! *****
To give you close up photos,pictures tend to make the item look much more larger & everything is 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 (photos ) or you can pull out a tape measure & compare to my given measurements above.
