Etsy Featured Artist - buzzy1969

Buzz's jewelry has a tribal flavor to it, for the most part, which is what really attracted me to his work. I have the priviledge of owning a few of his items, which are very well made. Some of his pieces harken back to the 60's, while others have a Native American flair. He also integrates flavors of celtic, and eastern jewelry, and even some victorian. His prices are definitely a bargain for the quality you receive. These pieces are made to withstand "my bluecollar life" as Buzz puts it.
















OLD WORK TURQUOISE AND BLACK BRACELET is a piece Buzz did in 1996. Made with turquoise and black glass "E" beads, it's definitely after the Native American style.

















NANTUCKET SLEIGHRIDE NECKLACE features a humpback whale pendant on goatskin which Buzz has knotted nicely. It also has engraved bone beads which, to me, give it a Northwestern tribal flair. Very nice.

















BLACK VICTORIAN NECKLACE AND EARRINGS is a delicate piece, featuring a beautiful flower pewter pendant, laced with faceted jet beads, and swarovski crystals.
