Liz Wallace is a Native American jeweler from the Washoe and Maido tribes on her father's side and Navajo on her mother's side. Her parents were talented gold and silversmiths and she, herself, is a highly collectable artist creating some of the best Native American contemporary jewelry using the finest natural turquoise jewelry. Her pieces are known for their traditional Dine themes combined in her unique designs with art deco and art nouveau. Liz began her career in the mid-90s and was selected for a Southwest Association on Indian Art Fellowship in 2009. She is best known for creating unique and beautiful turquoise jewelry with a multimedia focus.

Her use of natural high grade turquoise made her famous with collectors and enthusiasts of Native American turquoise jewelry. Her most iconic pieces are insect forms, like dragonflies and butterflies.

When you buy Liz Wallace jewelry, make sure that it comes with a certificate of authenticity that states her name and tribal affiliation, as well as the materials she used to make the piece. The certificate can prove the retail value of the jewelry, too.

Each piece is a statement of her talent and skill and there is nothing else like her jewelry in the world. Hence, each extraordinary piece of Liz Wallace jewelry is one of a kind and can be worn with pride as a wonderful, unique handmade item.

Rare gem grade turquoise dragonfly pins are among her best creations. They come in Bisbee turquoise and Darling Darlene spiderweb turquoise. These whimsical takes on the dragonfly are notable for their complex construction which took Liz months to create. The Bisbee turquoise dragonfly has delicate and intricately stamped wings. Eight gorgeous gem grade cabochons were used on the arched tail and face. The vibrant lavender and reddish brown matrix makes the Bisbee turquoise a quintessential blue stone. If you prefer a blue-green hue on the turquoise, you will love the Darling Darlene turquoise dragonfly pin. The gem grade natural stones are from Nevada.

Liz Wallace's rare gem grade Turquoise Mountain spiderweb tufa cast butterfly pin/pendant is a versatile piece that you can wear in two ways. The gems were mined in Arizona in the 1970s and have a gorgeous teal color with reddish golden brown webbing. Liz used complex silverwork to complement the stones.
