The Fabulous Jewelry of Nestoria Coriz


Santo Domingo Blue Gem Turquoise Necklace

Nestoria Coriz is the daughter of Lupe Pena and granddaughter of Santiago and Trinidad Pena. She began learning all facets of heishi, bead and stone work from her grandparents at the age of 6. At that time, there was little if any electrical power at the Santo Domingo Pueblo and so all jewelry work was created by hand.

As a teenager in the early 1960's Nestoria learned to make silver jewelry when she began working at Turpen's in Albuquerque alongside her father, Lupe Pena. Nestoria is now in her mid 60s and has created numerous award-winning necklaces. She is self-taught  in all aspects of the design and construction of her necklaces & jewelry. Nestoria uses the highest grades of  stones and shells in creating her unique pieces.

Nestoria's three sons, Daniel, Rodney ans Simon, are all following in the family tradition of creating and crafting unique pieces!

We have a small selection of Nestoria's and Daniel's necklaces available right now on our website. Any of them would make a perfect gift! The ceremonial necklaces can be worn by a man or a woman.
