Renowned Hopi & Santo Domingo Creations
Polished slab stones and minimal silverwork are characteristics of Santo Domingo jewelry. These artists use tufa stone-cast methods, while the Hopi employ the use of overlay silverwork to create jewelry that comes alive in textured designs. ** Heishi refers to ground and polished stones strung into necklaces. It does not have anything to do with bracelets.**
In fact, Hopi artists do not rely on stones as much as other Southwestern Indian jewelry artists do. Instead, they create distinctive pieces through their intricate silver overlay work. One piece of silver is set directly on top of another, the top panel of which is typically cut out, stamped, or etched with various designs. This top overlay panel is polished, allowing it to shine against a darker, oxidized backdrop comprising the second panel. Hopi jewelry features traditional designs with cultural symbols like bear claws, cornstalks, and man in the maze.
