Ramona Bird #52906

$300.00

We feel so lucky when we are able to add new Heishi work by Ramona Bird. Her work is so exquisite. This is a spectacular ten strand Heishi necklace with three earth tone olive shell colors. The gradations of the color scheme, and the pattern Ramona was able to create are stunning. Stringing such tiny
shell beads is such a time involved process. This is magnificent work.

(Santo Domingo) (Kewa)

Santo Domingo Pueblo artists are famous for their skill in making hand rolled and cut beads known as heishi. Made from shell, turquoise, and other stones, they are painstakingly cut by hand into delicate beads and strung on necklaces and made into earrings. Santo Domingo artist Ramona Bird has always been a full-time jewelry maker. She is the daughter of Josephine Coriz who taught her to drill and cut stones.
