Description

This is a beautiful Santo Domingo Necklace by noted artist Lorraine Cate of the Santo Domingo Pueblo in New Mexico. The necklace features three strands of Sleeping Beauty Mine Turquoise and Orange Spiny Oyster with Sterling Silver caps and Sterling Silver clasps.

All three strands are approximately the same length measuring 25 inches from clasp to clasp.

Lorraine Cate of the Santa Domingo Pueblo in New Mexico was the Indian Arts and Crafts Association Artist of the Year for 2003 and has also been a recognized as best in show at the annual Santa Fe Indian Market. As early as five years old, Lorraine showed an interest in making jewelry. Her mother Irma and grandmother Crucita fostered this interest to ensure the continuation of the artistry that is part of their life and culture. Lorraine contributes her success to her mother who taught her to make each piece as if it were her own. To make each piece something that will be treasured for a lifetime. Lorraine is most proud of her IACA 2003 award. She sees this as not only recognition for her work, but for all the fine artists of the Santo Domingo Pueblo who continue to make beautiful jewelry from the raw materials to the finished work of art. She hopes that the award will be an inspiration to the young artists on the Pueblo to keep the tradition alive.
