SANTO DOMINGO HEISHI NECKLACE BY MARY & GERARD CALABAZA. Kewa artists Mary and Gerard Calabaza hand crafted this lovely necklace out of Melon Shell, Turquoise, Serpentine, Jet, and Apple Coral.

Kewa (Santo Domingo) artists are known for their heishi. Means “shell” in the Keresan language. Traditionally Santo Domingo jewelry makers created their heishi jewelry out of shell. The shell is hand cut into a flat disc. Today, other stones that Santo Domingo artists cut in this manner, are also referred to as heishi. With modern tools and innovations, artists can create different styles of beads and use different gemstones like turquoise, coral, jet, serpentine, and spiny oyster.
