Turquoise and Coral Necklace Santo Domingo

Our Turquoise and Coral Necklace Santo Domingo is a vivid celebration of nature’s most powerful colors, the deep red of the earth and the radiant blue of the sky. Handcrafted by a talented female Santo Domingo Pueblo (Kewa Pueblo) artisan, this necklace honors centuries of Southwestern jewelry-making tradition while exuding a bold, modern spirit that feels distinctly Pax Philomena.

Each bead is meticulously shaped and polished by hand from genuine turquoise and natural coral, two materials revered for their beauty, rarity, and symbolic meaning. For generations, turquoise has been cherished by Native American artisans as a sacred stone of protection and prosperity, representing water, life, and the boundless sky. Coral, harvested from the sea, symbolizes vitality, transformation, and strength. Together, they embody the sacred balance between sky and ocean, land and life force, an eternal dialogue of harmony and energy.

The artist’s mastery is evident in the necklace’s exquisite design, five graceful strands that flow seamlessly from coral into turquoise, blending the two contrasting hues with perfect rhythm. The transition between colors feels organic and powerful, reflecting the way nature itself merges elements effortlessly. Every bead is cut and polished with precision, a process requiring tremendous patience and skill, making each piece one of a kind.

Jean Marie hand-selected this necklace during her travels through the Southwest, immediately captivated by its vibrant energy and timeless symbolism. She was drawn to the way it captures both movement and meaning, a wearable expression of heritage, spirit, and connection to the natural world.

Our Turquoise and Coral Necklace Santo Domingo is more than jewelry, it’s a work of art infused with cultural depth and creative passion. Whether worn as a statement piece over a flowing kaftan or as an elegant accent to a simple dress, it radiates strength, beauty, and authenticity. This necklace reflects the soul of Pax Philomena, where craftsmanship, culture, and color come together in perfect harmony.
