Look for Native American Jewelry Designed by Liz Wallace

Native American jewelry pieces with natural high grade turquoise are considered valuable and prized collectibles. While there are many Native American jewelry-makers, only a handful of artists are able to stand out with their unique designs. Liz Wallace is one of them. She is known for her distinctive creations that combine whimsical designs with a distinctive flare of femininity. Collectors from all over the world seek Liz Wallace’s one-of-a-kind heirloom pieces and high-quality collectibles that can stand the test of time. Her pieces are available only in limited quantities, making them more special and highly valued among avid collectors as well as those who truly appreciate the craftsmanship of authentic Native American jewelry.

Authentic Liz Wallace jewelry is available only from her or from reputable retailers that are authorized to sell them. When buying any of her pieces, always make sure that it comes with a certificate of authenticity to assure you of her name, tribal affiliation, and the retail value of the item. The same document should assure the authenticity and quality of the materials she used on the piece, too.

Insect forms are some of the popular designs by Liz Wallace. One of her best-sellers is a rare gem grade Darling Darlene spiderweb turquoise dragonfly pin, which is distinctive with its bright green hue. Each cabochon is rare and features gem grade natural Darling Darlene, which comes from Nevada. Liz Wallace carefully chose the colors for the dragonfly to mimic the insect's natural color. The incredibly fine piece is finished with complex stamp work on the wings and the body, and a curved sterling silver tail. If you prefer the color blue, Liz created another version that uses rare gem grade Bisbee Turquoise for the cabochons.

Liz Wallace makes pieces that are versatile, too. One example of this is her rare gem grade Montezuma spiderweb turquoise tufa cast butterfly pin, which can also be worn as a pendant. For this piece, Liz picked seven high-grade Montezuma spiderweb turquoise cabochons and elegantly combined them to form a whimsical butterfly. Each gem features a sky blue color with chocolate webbing. Liz has named it 'butterfly with eyelashes' due to the detail above the head, which features coiled and twisted sterling silver wire formed in the shape of lashes. She intricately designed and added more unique details by hand, including a layer of beads on the butterfly's abdomen.
