Thank you. She’s one of the best natural-turquoise and spiny oyster beadmakers active today, with a refined look to her work. It’s great to see some younger-generation jewelers continue the laborious work of beadmaking. Her mother’s jewelry is top tier, avidly collected.

My husband jokingly said, “I wonder if fish would bite those lures.”

They might, lol.
I have a pair of enameled fish earrings. Have had many ask if I made them from fishing lures.

I absolutely love both of these earrings, absolutely top if the line! If I’ve heard of Bonanza turquoise it’s since left my memory, but the turquoise used by Piki is always wonderful. These older slabs earrings are amazing. I could see wearing these daily as they’re so organic.
A good friend and fellow collector has a tab necklace by Cheryl Yestewa that’s superb (I’m only a little jealous!). It would be fun to see other pieces by Cheryl and Piki.
