Joe and Marilyn Pacheco Multi-Gemstone Mosaic Bolo Tie

Handcrafted by Santo Domingo Pueblo artists Joe and Marilyn Pacheco, this elegantly crafted mosaic inlay bolo tie embody a storied jewelry-making technique in the Southwest. Tiles of black jet, turquoise, serpentine, and apple coral are paired and precisely inlaid in a classic rectangle shape to create a unique and colorful piece that is lively and fun to wear while also celebrating the art and craftsmanship of Santo Domingo Pueblo jewelry.

Mosaic inlay jewelry is a signature style of Santo Domingo jewelers. Artists create mosaic inlay by attaching tiny gemstone tiles to a shell base, forming colorful and unique patterns. The technique can be traced back to early forms of jewelry unearthed at Anasazi sites throughout the Southwest, and many artists model their inlay designs after these early artifacts. Santo Domingo mosaic inlay is one of the jewelry styles most sought after by collectors of Native American art.

Bolo measures 2-5/8 long by 2" wide with 33.5" braided leather cord. Comes with certificate of authenticity.
