ANASAZI POTTERY SHARD and FIJIAN CERAMIC NECKLACE and EARRINGS

 

This truly unique necklace features a pendant made by New Mexican artist Dayton Simmons from a shard of pottery. Dayton has carefully traced the origins of the shard to the Anastazi Indians of the Four Corners area (New Mexico, Colorado, Utah and Arizona) circa 1200 AD. Complimenting the pendant are ceramic, yellow jade and carnelian beads. The ceramic beads were handmade of local sandy earth by Fijian natives in a tiny village on the island of Savusavu at the edge of the Koro Sea. The earrings use those same ceramic beads and carnelian. ($437 sold as a set only - #2001-32)

Message from New Mexican artist Dayton Simmons regarding his work:

“The energy and magic of the ‘Ancient Ones’ is the focus of this jewelry. The beautiful prehistoric pottery shards come from the Southwest and have not been enhanced. The intent is to honor and preserve them by shaping them into wearable art."
