{"product_id":"turquoise-three-strand-heishi-necklace","title":"Turquoise, Coral, and Heishi Santo Domingo Necklace","description":"\u003cp\u003eOur Turquoise Three Strand Heishi Necklace from Santo Domingo is a refined and deeply meaningful expression of Native American craftsmanship, created by a talented female Kewa artisan who learned this tradition from her elders. Each piece is made on commission exclusively for Pax Philomena, reflecting a personal connection between artisan and collector. This necklace carries not only beauty, but a lineage of knowledge, care, and cultural continuity woven into every strand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrafted in the traditional heishi style, the necklace features countless hand-cut, hand-drilled, and hand-polished beads, each one shaped with remarkable precision. This ancient technique, perfected by the Santo Domingo (Kewa) Pueblo, predates silversmithing and remains one of the most respected jewelry-making traditions in North America. The three strands create a graceful, layered effect, offering both presence and fluidity while maintaining a lightweight, wearable elegance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTurquoise, the heart of this piece, has long been revered as a sacred stone of protection, healing, and connection to the natural world. Today, genuine turquoise of this quality has become increasingly difficult to source, making pieces like this ever more special and collectible. Its serene blue tones evoke sky and water, bringing a sense of calm, balance, and timeless beauty to the wearer. Each bead reflects not only the rarity of the material but also the reverence with which it is handled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJean Marie personally commissioned this necklace, working closely with the artisan to bring this vision to life. Knowing it was created specifically for Pax Philomena adds a rare intimacy and exclusivity that sets it apart. Effortlessly elegant on its own or layered with other pieces, this necklace is more than adornment, it is a story of heritage, artistry, and the enduring spirit of handmade tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNumber of strands: 3 \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLength 19\" with clasp\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade in New Mexico, USA\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade in USA\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PAX PHILOMENA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52599622172991,"sku":"TURQUOISETHREESTRNDNECKLACE-OS","price":395.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2529\/6354\/files\/3_5e0a8cf4-1662-4616-8d15-43fcf0ca9383.jpg?v=1775070870","url":"https:\/\/paxphilomena.com\/products\/turquoise-three-strand-heishi-necklace","provider":"PAX PHILOMENA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
