Robert L. Coriz Turquoise and Sterling Silver Graduated Single Strand Heishi Necklace

This single-strand heishi necklace featuring graduated turquoise beads and a single center piece sterling silver bead crafted by Santo Domingo Pueblo artist Robert L Coriz is classic design and a staple to any wardrobe.

In Santo Domingo Pueblo, bead-making has been a central part of life for centuries. These beads are known as “heishi,” which means “shell” in the Santo Domingo language, Keres. Most heishi beads are rolled into smooth flat discs, but heishi can refer to any small beads that have been made by hand.

Necklace measures 22-1/2" long and 1/8 to 1/4" width. Comes with a certificate of authenticity.
