Paul and Jessie Rosetta Pipestone Heishi Shell Necklace
The husband and wife duo of Jessie and Paul Rosetta have been making elegant jewelry for decades in the Santo Domingo pueblo of New Mexico. They are known as masters of the art of heishi beadwork and completely hand cut each of these tiny beads from start to finish. They take pride in their work and have a limited production because of their high standards. They have shown their pieces at Indian market since the 1970's and their pieces are collected by many galleries and celebrities. This necklace is 18" long with a 5 1/2" long choke chain, and the removable center jaclas is 5" from top to bottom. The necklace consists of 10 strands of pipestone and mother of pearl beads which terminate in sterling silver silver caps. The center jaclas has on oval elephant ivory band which can be removed giving this piece mulitple looks. It is in excellent condition and is signed "Paul and Jessie Rosetta" on one conical end.
