About Santo Domingo

Kewa Pueblo — long known by its Spanish name, Santo Domingo — is the heartland of heishi, the hand-rolled shell and stone beads that are among the oldest forms of adornment in the Southwest. Strands of fine heishi, graduated and polished by hand, remain the signature of the pueblo's makers.

During the lean years of the Great Depression, Kewa artists became known for mosaic inlay laid over shell and reclaimed materials — the tab and "thunderbird" necklaces. Turquoise, spiny oyster, and jet supply the warm, earthen palette.

Region: Kewa (Santo Domingo) Pueblo, on the Rio Grande in New Mexico
Signature techniques: Hand-rolled heishi beadwork · Mosaic inlay on shell · Graduated bead strands
Characteristic materials: Turquoise · Spiny oyster · Jet · Shell (heishi)

Stones

Stones in Santo Domingo work

The stones most often set in the kewa heishi & inlay tradition. Each one opens its own page: where it is mined, how it is cut, and every piece that carries it.
