About The Artists:
Zuni husband and wife Robert and Bernice Leekya are known for their bold turquoise (usually Kingman) nugget jewelry. They have been making it since 1953. Born in 1934, Robert was taught by his father, a master Zuni jeweler Leekya Deyuse. Bernice Leekya, born in the 1930s, was formerly a maker of cluster work. After her marriage to Robert, she worked with him on the nugget jewelry also. Robert shares the RLB stamp with his wife Bernice Leekya. The larger L extends below the B. The last photo is a vintage picture of the artists.
