This
beautiful coral and
turquoise necklace is by Kewa (Santo Domingo) artist Carl Luthy.
Well-crafted silver leaves with deep grooves frame the natural shapes of the
coral and turquoise stones. Small silver drops add the final touch to this
lovely piece. Beautiful hand-crafted, small silver beads is an added compliment
to this necklace. The necklace is in excellent condition.
Carl Luthy is a well-known Santo Domingo silversmith. He, along with his
brother Max Luthy, ran a jewelry shop from 1960 to 1980. Many noted Navajo
silversmiths worked in conjunction with them at their shop, including Luke
Billy Yazzie and Louise and Ramone Platero.
The pendant measures 2 1/4" tall by 1" wide. The
beads measure 16" long. Hallmarked.
