Their inlay bracelets stand out for their design and detail, combining technical skill with cultural continuity. Every item is signed, marking both its authenticity and the personal hand of its makers.<br><br> Their work is rooted in heritage. From an early point in their lives, Anson and Leticia learned traditional Zuni methods; cutting and polishing stone by hand, using techniques passed through generations. Their bracelets often feature turquoise, coral, and other natural stones arranged in patterns that hold meaning within Zuni cosmology. The visual language of their pieces speaks to their culture’s connection to land, spirit, and story.<br><br> Though grounded in tradition, their approach is not fixed in time. They apply old methods with a modern sensibility, allowing their pieces to resonate across generations. The result is jewelry that holds the past and present together, objects meant to be worn, but also to be understood.<br><br> The Wallace name is familiar in the world of Native American jewelry because they never treat their work as simple ornament. What they create is deliberate, meaningful, and built to last. They shape more than stone and silver. Through each piece, they continue a legacy.
