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.

Lapis - I have a lovely graduated NA lapis necklace, so thought it needed earrings to go with.

I’m impressed with all the wonderful slab earrings you all have posted. I bought my first pair from Ray Lovado at Santa Fe Market this year. My husband actually complimented my earrings when I wore them a couple days ago. Ithink this is the first time he’s said anything about my earrings😄. These are natural Blue Gem:
My next pair will be by Piki Wadsworth…I love her French Wires with the small cabs, adds a nice dimension to the earrings. Thanks for the info about instagram @chicfarmer !!
