Kewa Puebloan Artists-Torevia & Delbert Crespin-Colorful-2 Strand Spiny Oyster Shell Heishi-Mosaic Inlaid Panel/Squash Blossom Necklace
A PERSONAL WORD:
Kewa Puebloan artists "Delbert & Torevia Crespin's" work stands in a league of their own..They are known for putting a real artsy vibe to everything they make, which is why they stand apart from the rest in the village.. Yes, you'll find them doing the super traditional styles that are known in Kewa jewelry, but more times than not, you'll find them creating these extremely eye catching pieces that can make you stand out, no matter where you're at! I personally feel it's the way they work with their colorful materials, but more so, it's their "Eye" for knowing how & where to then lay them that literally makes each, a wearable piece of art!

*****I do not consider myself a 'professional photographer" but I do try to give you photos that are 'realistic" in color,just so you're not shocked, nor disappointed when you get the piece. I find photographing anything with 'yellow' in it, (orange, green) can come up a little more vivid, so please take this into consideration. Please go through all photos to see ANY variation.
