We learned a lot of information about turquoise. I had no idea how many different kinds of turquoise there is. My friend was looking for a matching earrings for her bracelet. Owner told us that particular turquoise is no longer mined but eventually we found some earrings that were a close match. We both purchased a couple pieces. The only criticism I have is the owner doesn't stay focused. He is very very knowledgeable all things turquoise but we didn't need to hear the history of every piece that we were not even interested in. He kept showing my friend items that she wasn't in there to look at We almost left until a pair of earrings caught my eye that I thought would match her bracelet. They were a very close match so she did make a purchase. Even though he said more than once: These earrings are expensive and I would hate for you to pay that much‍ He almost lost a $1000 sale between her and I because he was not focused and even tried to discourage the earring purchase at one point. If you are wanting beautiful one of a kind pieces, this is the place to go. Just be prepared to be in there awhile.

A majority of their merchandise is fine jewelry and, as such, is priced accordingly. However, they also have some budget-friendly pendants, earrings and rings that are smaller but of equal quality.

Highly recommend this store if someone is looking for authentic, excellent quality Native jewelry!

Picaya is like a high quality Earth Bounds Trading Company (are those still around?). Like a more eclectic, expensive, and small Pier 1 or World Market. Their tagline is "Many cultures... one source" - simple and fitting. It's super cozy in here, like a really awesome, worldly, and wealthy person's living room. Beautiful furniture, pillows, lamps, mirrors, hand woven baskets, bowls, wooden boxes, glass pipes, fancy candles and soaps, crystals, rugs, handmade toys and trinkets. Everything is so earthy and fragrant with vibrant colors and unique details. You could probably spend hours admiring all of these handmade goodies from around the world. Incense, spiritual decor, jewelry, wind-chimes, gorgeous wall art, kitchen tools... I didn't end up buying anything because we were only passing through and I'd already spent enough $$$, but it was definitely my kinda boutique. I wish I could fill my entire house with treasures from Picaya.

Imagine a store filled with handmade carved wooden boxes of varying sizes and uses (I own at least two just for their aesthetics), multiple incense scents to choose from, mirrors, statues of dragons and buddhas, energy crystals, hand woven rugs and old school (yet still unique) children's toys designed to amaze and delight. The place is just excellent for finding something totally unique to take home to that unlucky soul who couldn't come to Telluride for the skiing. There are plenty of things that are easily packable (and many that are easily breakable too - ask about assistance shipping fragile or larger items home, they can accommodate), and as I said, since almost all is hand made, it's all unique. Every time I go, I have to pick up something new to remember the trip by. Great find. Even if you don't want to drop any coin, it's definitely worth wandering into and poking around - you never know what treasure they'll have.

Orville Tsinnie is a renowned self-taught artist. He is a master Navajo silversmith who has been making jewelry since the 1970s; winning numerous awards, including a Lifetime Achievement award from the Indian Arts and Crafts Association (IACA), an honor that brings well-deserved recognition to this fine American Indian artist. Tsinnie can be considered a perfectionist due to his tremendous craftsmanship, attention to detail, and work. By constructing his jewelry with the highest quality stones and materials, the overall results are quite stunning! I was first introduced to Tsinnie's fine craftsmanship approximately a year ago, when my eyes gazed upon a c.1995 stylish heavy-gauge silver bracelet. Immediately thereafter, I became a loyal fan of his beautifully handcrafted work and had to obtain a few of his unique designs. Tsinnie was personally contracted to re-design a Kingman cuff that I purchased as a holiday present that would not properly fit onto my boyfriend's giant wrist. Without being knowledgeable about bracelet gap openings, the original bracelet was impossible to fit around his wrist. The original bracelet was ravishing and would have been such a disappointment to not be able to properly display and wear. Tsinnie's designs are handmade, which takes time to produce the quality of craftsmanship; but every day worth the wait was well worth it. The finished re-design was an absolutely stunning masterpiece! If you are interested in superb quality, craftsmanship and superior customer service; I highly recommend contacting Orville Tsinnie! I am absolutely positive in the near future he will indeed construct a few more lovely pieces for me.
