The Santo Domingo (Kewa) Pueblo is located 25 miles southwest of Santa Fe, New Mexico. This style of beadwork is thought to be the oldest form of jewelry from New Mexico and is still practiced today mostly among Native Americans of the Santo Domingo (Kewa) and San Felipe Pueblos. Known best for their hand rolled heishi beads, some of the finest turquoise necklaces are made by Santo Domingo artists. Other traditional forms of Kewa jewelry include mosaic inlay designs on shells and depression era necklaces. Many of these necklaces were acquired directly from the artists for our business in the 1950's-60's.
