Sonwai (Verma Nequatewa) Coral Strand Gold Necklace

Nineteen strands of red Mediterranean coral beads beautifully accented by three strands of freshwater pearls by Master Hopi jeweler Sonwai (Verma Nequatewa). She accented throughout the strands pink coral, turquoise, and fine gold disk spacers. The 18k gold cones are handmade tufa cast with a morning star design, gold dots, and a single Lone Mountain turquoise stone. You can see Sonwai’s hallmark on the gold hook clasp. Today, Sonwai is still active at Hopi, continuing her uncle Charles Loloma’s traditions and their family history of making wearable art.
