Warren Nieto is a New Mexico artist known for his dramatic sterling and stone inlay designs, most frequently strung on chunky beads as displayed here. This five strand necklace includes 6mm spiny oyster spaced by shell heishi and finished with braided waxed cord intended to be tied at your desired length. The removable Thunderbird measures a whopping 4-3/4 inches tall and 4-7/8 inches wide with a generous 20mm bail, making this piece very versatile. Warren’s inlay work is backed with jet to stabilize the forms. He is undoubtedly a master of his craft.
End to end, the necklace measures 39 inches, which is its longest possibility, with its shortest being about 20 inches. The matching post earrings measure 1-5/8 inches long and 1-1/4 inches wide.

Actual colors may vary slightly due to lighting, screen display and/or the way color is seen by an individual.
Handcrafted/Handmade work is unique in its design, which means that imperfections will most often be part of an item’s character. Inconsistencies will occur by nature, which makes each piece truly one of a kind; an artist is not a machine.
