About
Teal Tatanka Innovations

Welcome to Teal Tatanka Innovations.
I’m Mary Deherrera, the founder and creative force behind this brand. As a self-taught Indigenous artist, I combine traditional beadwork techniques with fresh, modern designs to create jewelry that’s both beautiful and meaningful. Every piece I craft is a reflection of skill, care, and a desire to offer wearable art that connects culture and innovation.

 

My Story
I began beadwork out of passion and curiosity, teaching myself the intricacies of even count peyote stitch and brick stitch techniques. These methods—known for their structure and precision—became the foundation for my work. What started as a personal journey quickly grew into Teal Tatanka Innovations, where I now design collections that blend tradition with a contemporary style, perfect for everyday wear or special moments.

 

What Makes Us Different
At Teal Tatanka Innovations, quality is never compromised. Each piece is handcrafted with close attention to detail—from color selection to the final assembly. I specialize in beadwork that’s not only visually striking but also durable and comfortable. This commitment to refined craftsmanship and exceptional quality sets us apart, offering jewelry that stands the test of time and trends.

 

Our Mission & Values
Innovation, kindness, and professionalism guide everything I do. I strive to create jewelry that empowers the wearer and honors the art of beadwork. By continuously refining my techniques and designs, I aim to provide pieces that inspire confidence and connection.

 

To Our Customers
You’re more than a customer—you’re part of the story. Whether you’re drawn to the sparkle of a single earring or the statement of a full set, my goal is to craft jewelry that feels personal and meaningful. I hope every piece you wear from Teal Tatanka Innovations reminds you of strength, beauty, and individuality.
