THE SUNRISE PENDANT:

Start your day with with a little sunshine & some color!! Mary calls this her "Sunrise" necklace that is designed with an expolsion of some incredible vibrant colors to wake you up & start your day off right!!!

Made with all hand cut & shaped materials,this artistically designed pendant is designed as if the mustard yellow colored butternut sqaush serpentine sun is coming up from the horizon & the shell slices emulate the sun rays..Below are her signature style cuts that lay horizontally & following in the green theme,she has dark green Malachite & yellow/green serpentine,that's followed by pink Rhodonite,brown yellow Spiderweb Serpentine,a mutli color pattern of various stones & shells & ending in Orange Spiny Oyster shell & Nevada green turquoise.Each of these cuts are mosaic inlaid atop of a black jet backing.The pendant itself is held in by Mary's hand made bale & is not removable.

THE BEADED NECKLACE:

Made with some gorgeous colored "New Green Jade Serpentine" beads that Mary hand cut down to size..Normally she'll 'hand roll" them to form the bead, but tried her hands at tumbling them to form the bead with this. I have to admit,I'm in LOVE with this green serpentine & how it comes to life,especially when you pair it with the orange spiny oyster shell!! The beads are all uniform in size with a precise measurement of 9.5 mm round.Black jet is used as spacers near the pendant.(See photos) Each bead was then hand drilled in order to string.

A FINAL WORD:

You can't go wrong with anything you get of Mary's,as well as being a sure guarantee that NO ONE will have your piece,since no 2 are alike!!! These are pieces of 'WEARABLE ART' & can be treasured & passed on for a lifetime!

The wonderful thing about owning Mary's jewelry is for the fact that you can pair any of her pieces together, regardless that they may not be the same,because it’s the ‘LOOK’ that matches!And you can put her necklaces up against any color wardrobe to pull ANY color out!!!

A NOTE:

**I want to mention that since Covid,material vendors no longer can go to the Pueblo to sell to the artisans like they always have..The artists would rarely have to leave,since the vendors would go right to the Pueblo..Now that's not the case..Because of this,it is getting harder for Mary to find good quality materials & sometimes she has to travel miles just to get them & has had to pay higher prices just to keep the business going..So with this said,she has had to increase her pricing,since they're now costing her more.**
