This vintage pendant showcases a classic Santo Domingo mosaic inlay technique, with small, individually cut turquoise tiles hand-set across the surface to create a seamless blanket of natural stone. The rounded, teardrop silhouette with its open center is a nod to early Kewa Pueblo work of the 1960s-1970s, when artists began experimenting with negative space to frame movement and light.
The natural turquoise matrix is beautifully varied, giving the piece rich depth and character from every angle. The pendant is substantial yet balanced, making it a special statement piece for collectors of Southwestern and Indigenous traditional jewelry.
