Colliers de perles Heishi
Heishi, du mot Saint-Domingue signifiant "coquillage", faisait traditionnellement référence aux colliers de perles de coquillages. Aujourd'hui, cependant, il décrit de minuscules perles faites à la main de n'importe quel matériau. Les sculpteurs de Santo Domingo Pueblo sont les producteurs de heishi les plus compétents. Pour fabriquer les perles minuscules, le matériau (coquillage, pierre ou corail) est découpé en lanières, puis découpé en petits carrés, après quoi des trous sont percés au centre. Traditionnellement, les trous étaient percés avec une lance de cactus. Reliés ensemble, les carrés rugueux sont façonnés et lissés en tenant la ficelle contre une roue de pierre tournante. Dans le processus, 60 à 70% du matériau d'origine est perdu.

Sometimes the price is reflected in where you purchase the piece. Some stores have higher rents, sometimes an artist is more in need of a quicker sale. There are many varying factors. Some of the stone might be from the same mine but some of it may be natural, some turquoise maybe treated or enhanced. The one thing you should remember, is if you like it treat your self and buy it. Because you will not see the exact piece again. I watched a beautiful piece of jewelry get away because I waited too long.
I found that to be a simple straight forward description of the process. I still have wondered if when they make heishi beads with turquoise,do they use slab stone,or is it made from small chips. I guess from the description if they cut it into squares, I guess it would be a slab. I also have seen the price range that is so widespread, I could believe that has something to do with the type of turquoise used, but I have seen the same turquoise used and one necklace may be under a couple hundred dollars,and then another with the same turquoise,and the price may be a couple thousand dollars. I know there has to be something different to cause such a wide spread in pricing,and I am comparing the same turquoise and the same bead size and length of necklace.Any idea why?
