CO291 Harpo Coral and Silver Necklace

Pueblo necklace

Pueblo necklace made with coral Heishi beads and sterling silver beads.

This necklace features a rustic yet elegant style, perfectly reflecting the traditional beading techniques of the Pueblo people. 

The Heishi handcraft is a long and meticulous process: First, rough-cut stones or shells are drilled and then strung on a wire, after which the artist holds both ends of the strand and carefully draws the beads back and forth accross a grinding wheel or other rough surface to shape the Heishi beads.

Pueblo, "Kewa": Native tribe of the South-West, notably known for making Heishi beads, little handmade beads in tubular or puck shapes, composed of different materials and stones (turquoise, black-jet, coral and shell).

Length: 41cm (16 inches)

Sterling silver clasp.

Proudly Pueblo handmade in the USA.
