Heishe which means shell, are small hand-rolled beads from Kewa (Santo Domingo) Pueblo. They are traditionally made from shell and materials like turquoise. Nick Rosetta is renowned for micro heishe jewelry, doing his own exquisite lapidary work. Behold this triple strand jet, serpentine and sterling silver heishe necklace that's about 18 1/2". It hangs at approximately 9" long. The individual beads are roughly 1/8" long, while the silver ones measure about 3/16". A sophisticated and visually striking work of wearable art that will garner many compliments. Signed by the artist.
