Ancient Tradition continues in this piece made from Turquoise, Jet & Clam & Pin Shell

5d0036c

One of the oldest jewellery-making traditions in the American Southwest, heishi predates metalworking, with specimens found at Chaco Canyon and Mesa Verde dating back thousands of years, originating from the Kewa Pueblo of New Mexico.

Sourced directly from Native American artists on the reservations of New Mexico and Arizona, handmade using traditional techniques passed down through generations.

Dimensions: 46cm.
