JOLENE BIRD (KEWA) NECKLACESanto Domingo Pueblo
DESCRIPTION: This breathtaking work of wearable art is from celebrated Kewa artisan Jolene Bird.
Jolene learned lapidary arts and jewelry making from her grandfather, learning to identify and select high-grade stones for use in traditional Santo Domingo inlay work. She went on to study silversmithing at the Poeh Institute and Art Center on the Pojoaque Pueblo north of Santa Fe, New Mexico. She hand-cuts and finishes each individual bead and piece of stone inlay for her works, and is well known for her mosaic inlay objects and jewelry. Her work has been exhibited at the Smithsonian Institution National Museum of the American Indian, Santa Fe Indian Market, and at several museum venues. Jolene Bird has won several awards for her stone inlay work.
19 inlaid butterflies (inlaid on both sides) are spaced with abalone shell melon beads. This exquisite necklace will be a valuable addition to your collection of the very finest Southwestern and Native American jewelry.
