Kewa earrings of Beauty

Pueblo-style earrings from Santo Domingo, NM


Truly, New Mexico holds the key to 'Beauty.'

This southwestern state is home to many Indigenous desert southwest tribal people. They inlcude: Jicarilla Apache, Mescalero Apache, Navajos from the northern and eastern region of the Navajo Nation, and the Canoncito Band of Navajos and Alamo Navajos, and then there is all the Pueblo people along the Rio Grande River.

The best of all Indigenous jewelry can be is made in this wonderful 'land of enchanment' New Mexico, USA. I personally would not live anywhere else, New Mexico will always be my home, its sky and sandstone cliffs reflect my soul.

I am inspired above all by the jewelry my Native people make. I buy it and treasure it whether its hanging in my jewelry collection or wearing it on my person. I was initially inspired to create this blog because of Indigenous jewelry.  I have pictured here a new addition to my earring collection. This pair was purchased by a Pueblo artisan from the village of Santo Domingo, or Kewa, as they call themselves.

I just wanted to share such 'Beauty.'

In a good way.
