Description

A tribute to artistry and rhythm, this handcrafted guitar pendant is the work of Joseph Bailon—respected Kewa Pueblo silversmith known for his masterful inlay technique. The neck is set with polished onyx; the body, a mosaic of warm coral and what is likely spiny oyster shell, creates a textured tonal harmony that feels both grounded and expressive.

Crafted in sterling silver and strung on a soft leather cord with a sterling clasp, this piece channels both cultural heritage and musical soul. Whether you’re a collector of Native American jewelry or simply appreciate statement pieces that tell a story, this pendant strikes a rare chord.
