Description

 Make a statement with this elegant necklace handcrafted by Santo Domingo Pueblo artist Mary Coriz Lovato. Featuring beautiful Lion's Paw shell, known for its rich texture alongside smooth beads of turquoise, this heirloom quality necklace is a showstopper. The three strands of this necklace are capped with sterling silver beads that meet unique mosaic inlay piece featuring black jet, coral turquoise, and shell all carefully cut and inlaid into sterling silver to create the mosaic hand design which Mary is known for. 

Mary Coriz is known for making exquisite handcrafted heishi bead necklaces in traditional style. She often uses shells to create finely cut heishi beads, crafting bold silhouettes that pair an ancient art with modern beauty. In the late 1950's Mary is credited for revived the traditional technique of mosaics inlaid with turquoise, coral, mother-of-pearl and other stones. Mary is known for her mosaic hand designs.

Necklace measures 32" long by 2" wide with mosaic panels measuring 3-1/4" long by 1-5/8" wide. Comes with certificate of authenticity. 

Our Guarantee of Authenticity

At the Indian Pueblo Store we guarantee that your purchase is an original and authentic work handcrafted by Native American artists as defined by the Indian Arts and Crafts Act of 1990. We ask our artists to complete an extensive certification process, providing a CIB (Certificate of Degree of Indian Blood) card and other documentation of their Native American heritage. Our team of experts carefully inspects every product to guarantee it is handcrafted using traditional, sustainable processes and natural materials of only the highest quality. We record the place and date of each purchase and pride ourselves in paying a fair price that allows artists to make a living practicing their craft. At a time when many commercially-made products are being sold as handcrafted Native American art, our in-depth purchase process allows us to guarantee the authenticity of every unique piece of fine art we offer. For more than 35 years, we have made it a priority to visit artists in their studio or home to purchase their latest handcrafted pieces and learn about their work. We have developed lasting relationships with artists, as well as dealers and collectors, and we take pride in being a trusted destination for fine Native American art.
