Santo Domingo Heishi Shell Necklace (Desert Stripes)

Wow. This spectacular necklace by Santo Domingo Pueblo artist Dorene Calabaza features heishi disc beads made from white shell, black jet, bright turquoise, green serpentine, earthy pipestone, and red coral.

Heishi beads have been made since ancient times and were hand-carved from various shells, stones, and mineral rocks. The beads continue to be highly treasured, incorporated into jewelry and adornment, and passed down and cherished. Heishi are typically small disc-shaped beads, but these are larger.

We also love these for evenings and more formal events. Layer with your favorite necklaces, like a simple gold or silver chain, for a personalized look.
