5 out of 5 starsThese earrings are smaller than I expected but they are really nice. The turquoise is really pretty. I had to change out the backs because the earrings need something to keep them balanced or they droop forward.

5 out of 5 starsThese earrings are big, and they are bold—not for the faint of heart or ear. The design is surprising, the execution careful. I am delighted to have them.

5 out of 5 starsThe quality of turquoise makes such a difference in whether a piece of jewelry has magic or doesn’t. This does. The asymmetry of the wire wrapping adds to the personality of the pendant. I’m lucky to have found a jewelry maker who knows his materials.

5 out of 5 starsBeautiful lustrous pearl in a unique copper wire wrapped setting. Very comfortable to wear! The pearl is classic, and the copper gives the ring a bit of whimsy. Lovely piece!

The New Vintage Look of Southwest Distinction
Zona Jewelry Artisans on Etsy is our offering of our wire jewelry art collection that includes Natural Turquoise, Cultured Pearl, Druzy, Malachite, Chrysacolla, Larimar, Sodolite, Lapis, Exotic Agates, Exotic Quartz, and Exotic Jaspers to the lovers of truly handmade jewelry. Our original, exotic vintage heirloom designs are all handcrafted in Tucson, Arizona. If you are the type of person that wants others to ask, "Where did you get that?" instead of, "Oh, I have one just like it." you might just have found one of your favorite jewelry artist in us.
We started making handmade, handcrafted artisan jewelry in 2006 as Zonakid's Outpost Jewelry. After tiring of explaining to shoppers at our showings that a Zonakid is a nickname for an old goat from Southern Arizona and not children's jewelry, we decided to transition to our current name a few years ago. We still do several local showings September through May annually.
Mark is documented Handicapped Artist with less than 50% mobility usage in his left hand after a bicycling accident in his youth. With that in mind, has taught himself the very challenging arts of Wire Wrapping and Viking Knit. Lisa is currently finishing studies to become a Registered Gemology and Jewelry Appraiser. She is already a GIA Graduate with a AJP (Accredited Jewelry Professional). We think this is very important to knowing what we are buying and presenting to you.
