Description

  • This is a pair of Santo Domingo Earrings by Irma Cate, mother of Lorraine Cate of the Santo Domingo Pueblo. The earrings feature Turquoise Heishi with Sterling Silver beads and ear hook.

  • The earring measure approximately 1 1/8 inch long as measured from the center of the sterling silver ear loop.

  • Irma makes her pieces from a variety of stones and shell including Turquoise, Clam Shell, Mellon Shell, Olive Shell, Pipestone, Jet and others. Her art includes starting with raw materials that are cut and ground to the final product. Her Heishi beads begin with raw material that are sliced into strips and cut into small squares with nippers. Once the small hole is drilled each square is strung on fine wire and nipped again, cutting the squares into rough circles which are ground into the desired shape on a grinding wheel. The final beads are smoothed, washed in clear water, dried in the New Mexico sun and polished to create the final product.

  • You will receive the exact item pictured. We have taken pictures of this distinctively individual item and you will receive exactly this item.
