A Telluride, Colorado/El Paso, Texas designer describes her jewelry as tribal chic. Maria's one of a kind pieces meld native history with the trends of today. Every one of her designs has a unique story and is handcrafted with extreme care and detail. She uses a symphony of old and ancient or vintage-inspired materials and found objects. Stones, raw diamonds, pave diamonds, 18k-24k gold, oxidized sterling silver, python skin, crocodile skin, salmon skin, and shed antlers are some of the surprising components in her collection. Necklaces can be worn layered and often multiple ways – long, short, wrapped, or clasped tighter for the choker look. This jewelry is for the smart, beautiful, exotic woman with a mind of her own.
