"The artist is nothing without the gift, but the gift is nothing without work" Emile Zola

Deeply inspired by his Ancestral Puebloan Chaco Canyon/Pueblo Bonito roots, Warren couldn't have portrayed his Puebloan ancestors historical past any more beautifully that what is in this set . He recreates these subjects with the colorful stones & shells from the earth & which are artistically laid in a mosaic inlay form.

As thrilled as he was making it, I am equally proud to offer such a set of this caliber to you. It says so much & represents deep symbolic meanings that dominate Puebloan life.

THE VERSATILE 3 PIECE SET INCLUDES:

4 Strand Melon Shell/Turquoise Necklace

Removable Chaco Door-Raincloud/Lightning Pendant

Matching Raincloud/Lightning Earrings

**********************

THE 4 STRAND NECKLACE:
Precisely hand cut in a uniform 4.7 mm roundness, the necklace is made with soft peachy cream color Melon shell with perfectly cut, tear drop tabs of turquoise that are sporadically placed throughout the 4 strands. There is about 3" of excess twisted wax string that allows you to tie it off & drop the length a bit. You tie it in a knot when you wear it or if you know how to do it or have a jeweler, you can put sterling cones & a hook & eye on the ends. Wear this alone or with the pendant!

THE REMOVABLE CHACO CANYON DOOR PENDANT:

In a 5.50" tall picturesque display is the 'Door' known to Chaco. This part of the set is what tells a story of the past & present..
Hanging from a fully mosaic inlaid bale is the Chaco door where the story of Pueblo life is told. At the bottom of the pendant is the Kiva, which Warren chose to use the earthy brown Travertine Onyx. If you zoom in on photo 4,you will see on the left & right side, just above the Kiva, the Mother of Pearl ladder that takes you in & out of the Kiva. The rest of the outer square is made with a mosaic inlay of turquoise.

Being that corn is a sacred staple to the Puebloan people, corn cannot grow without rainclouds,rain & lightning, which is what you see in the cut out center. From the bottoms center are linear cuts of black jet & mother of pearl.Above this area, are the symbolic rainclouds that are accentuated by 3 different cuts that are made with Chrysocolla, Spiny Oyster & yellow Serpentine. Crushed Italian red coral are outlined in sterling wire & act as the lightning which also creates the rain. All the material is laid atop of a jet backing.

The pendant is removable, so not only can you wear it with the necklace, but you can change it out & wear it on something else if you like! The fully mosaic inlaid bale's opening has about a 1/2" (12 mm or so) opening, but the necklace should be smaller in diameter, since you want the pendant to 'move & breathe' on the strand if you do go this route.So I suggest something with no more than say an 11 mm diameter.

THE RAINCLOUD/LIGHTNING EARRINGS:

Very lightweight & very wearable, these are made to compliment the pendants design.Hanging from the raincloud design at the top is the lightning design that's also made with the crushed Italian red coral. They are a 'mirror' style earring so there's an actually left/right side. Mosaic inlaid atop of black jet. If you need a photo of them on the ear, let me know! If you need a photo of them on the ear, let me know!

This is a one of a kind set of authentic Pueblo "ART" at it's best & no one can take you into Pueblo life more than what you get with Warren's work! A REAL treasure!!
