Wild Current Necklace
The Wild Current Necklace by Santo Domingo (Kewa Pueblo) artist Rodney Coriz is an exceptional three-strand statement piece centered around elongated Kingman turquoise. The turquoise displays a beautiful range of vibrant color and natural matrix, with the varied shapes creating incredible texture and movement.
Throughout the three strands, Coriz incorporates sculptural branch coral alongside accents of jet, purple spiny oyster, orange spiny oyster, lapis, and shell. The flashes of red, orange, purple, deep blue, black, and white create a striking contrast against the Kingman turquoise.
Measuring 29 inches, this substantial necklace showcases Coriz’s contemporary approach to combining traditional natural materials into a bold, wearable work of art.

About the Artist
Rodney Coriz learned jewelry making through his grandfather, Lupe Pena, and his mother, Nestora Coriz, both accomplished jewelers. From childhood, he learned traditional beadwork, shell work, inlay, and metalsmithing by observing their work and began designing and creating his own jewelry at age 10.
Coriz later studied metalsmithing at the Poeh Cultural Center in 2002. His work brings a contemporary approach to traditional hand-rolled beads, natural stones, shell, and metalsmithing. His jewelry has been shown at museums including the Heard Museum and Millicent Rogers Museum, and he is featured in Masters of Contemporary Indian Jewelry.
