This month, we take a close look at Santo Domingo artists Priscilla Nieto and Harvey Abeyta.

Priscilla Nieto and Harvey Abeyta are well respected artists. Santo Domingo artists produce the finest handmade beads of any Native tribe, and are recognized for their intricate and painstakingly executed jewelry.

Beads fall into two primary categories - what comes from the ocean is shell; what is taken from Mother Earth, stone. Shell and stones that have been hand drilled and shaped into small beads, and then strung into necklaces, are known as heishi.
Â
The necklaces are fastened by tying, rather than by silver clasps and the material used - actually, carpet threading - is durable and comfortable. Priscilla tells us the wearer doesn't feel the weight of the piece, adding, "We used to use cotton string, then waxed cord. Our people are always looking for better materials; then the word goes out. Thank God for this - we share ideas, but we keep our techniques to ourselves!"
Â
Priscilla and Harvey recently stopped by and we took the opportunity to expand our selection of their beautiful work. We invite you to stop by and see their unique and exquisite creations. Enjoy 20% off on all Native made jewelry!
