Few names in the Southwest carry this weight.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEva Calabaza is a renowned artisan rooted in the Tewa and Santo Domingo Native American jewelry traditions of Kewa Pueblo — a lineage in which hand-cut shell and heishi inlay have been the defining craft for centuries. These earrings showcase vibrant spiny oyster shell, meticulously hand-cut and set in sterling silver. The natural beauty of the shell — warm oranges deepening into rich reds — is preserved without enhancement. At 1 inch by 1 inch and just 6 grams, they are wearable daily but carry the specific gravity of authentic, named-artist jewelry from one of the most respected traditions in the American Southwest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout this piece\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe heishi and inlay traditions of Santo Domingo (Kewa) Pueblo are among the oldest continuous jewelry-making practices in North America. Hand-cut spiny oyster set in sterling silver is a hallmark of the tradition — the way it has been done at Kewa for generations. Eva Calabaza's work honors that tradition through exceptional craftsmanship and an eye for the most expressive material in each shell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMaterials \u0026amp; craftsmanship\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStone:\u003c\/strong\u003e Natural spiny oyster shell, hand-cut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMetal:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sterling silver (.925)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTechnique:\u003c\/strong\u003e Traditional Tewa \/ Santo Domingo heishi inlay\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtisan:\u003c\/strong\u003e Eva Calabaza, Santo Domingo Pueblo (Kewa)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hook back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDimensions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength: 1.0 inches (2.5 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidth: 1.0 inches (2.5 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 6 g \/ 0.21 oz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Eva Calabaza","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48705199341810,"sku":"MASJ-EAR-111","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0405\/2611\/9063\/files\/tewa-santo-domingo-native-american-earrings-spiny-oyster-copy-tortoiseshell-patterned-919.webp?v=1775967429","url":"https:\/\/mexicanoaxacansilverjewelry.com\/products\/tewa-santo-domingo-native-american-earrings-spiny-oyster-copy","provider":"Mexican Oaxacan Silver Jewelry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
