PURCHASED BY ME IN THE 1970's


Husband and wife Frank & Brihilda Coriz are recognized as accomplished Silversmiths.

Members of the Santo Domingo Pueblo (Kewa Pueblo), their work reflects their cultural heritage.

Often featuring combinations of sterling silver and gemstones.


Many of their creations are considered vintage, dating back several decades,

and are highly sought after by collectors, especially their heart motifs.


This stunning hand-crafted Sterling Silver Heart Pendant features an intricate stamped and scalloped design that

beautifully showcases a mastery of craftsmanship.

It is bezel set with a heart shaped Purple Spiny Oyster, which is incredibly difficult to harvest,

making the shell both rare and highly prized.

It is attached to a cylindrical silver stamped bale that also incorporates the scalloped motif.


This timeless pendant is a testament to the artistry of Pueblo Native American jewelry,

and makes a stunning addition to any jewelry collection.


To make the Pendant immediately wearable, 

it will come with a 30" Sterling Silver Generic Snake Chain Necklace that

 looks fabulous worn long or doubled to 15.25".


As a bonus, I am including a  vintage Zuni Native American Bear Fetish Sterling Silver Pendant that

can also be threaded with the Sterling Silver Necklace.
