This special necklace was commissioned through the close friendship she shares with Jean Marie, whose passion for Native American jewelry has always been rooted in building meaningful relationships with the artists behind every piece. Together, they envisioned a necklace that captures the unmistakable colors of the Southwest—the brilliant blue of open desert skies and the fiery reds of canyon sunsets. Every carefully strung strand reflects generations of knowledge, patience, and artistry, creating a piece that is as meaningful as it is beautiful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Santo Domingo people are renowned as the original masters of heishi, one of the oldest jewelry-making traditions in North America. Every tiny bead begins as natural material that is individually cut, drilled, shaped, and polished entirely by hand before being carefully strung into graceful strands. This necklace pairs luminous turquoise, treasured for centuries as a symbol of protection, harmony, and prosperity, with vibrant red coral, a material that has long been admired in Native jewelry for its warmth, vitality, and striking beauty. Together, these two natural materials create one of the most iconic color combinations in Southwestern jewelry, balancing cool blues with rich crimson tones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJean Marie has spent decades working alongside Native artisans, believing that the finest jewelry comes from collaboration rather than simply placing an order. Through years of friendship with this gifted artisan, they thoughtfully designed this necklace to honor Santo Domingo traditions while creating something fresh, elegant, and timeless. Every commissioned piece reflects countless conversations, careful material selections, and a shared commitment to preserving authentic Pueblo craftsmanship for future generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMore than a necklace, this is a story woven bead by bead. Commissioned exclusively for our collection, it celebrates the remarkable artistry of the Santo Domingo people and the enduring beauty of handcrafted heishi, brilliant turquoise, and vibrant coral. It is a timeless heirloom that carries the spirit of the Southwest, honoring both the artisan who created it and the traditions that continue to inspire every piece she makes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNumber of Strands: 3\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade in New Mexico, USA\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLength 19\" with clasp\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PAX PHILOMENA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54840614453567,"sku":"CORALTURQUOISEHEISHINECKLACE-OS","price":395.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2529\/6354\/files\/Coral_Turquoise_and_Heishi_Santo_Domingo_Necklace.png?v=1785358804","url":"https:\/\/paxphilomena.com\/products\/coral-turquoise-and-heishi-santo-domingo-necklace-1","provider":"PAX PHILOMENA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
