MULTI-STONE INLAY EARRINGS BY MARY TAFOYA (SANTO DOMINGO)
Mary Tafoya was born Mary Coriz and learned the art of mosaic inlay by helping her parents, Frank and Anita Coriz, make jewelry. At first, she learned traditional bead, heishi, and Depression Style stone work and has since evolved those techniques to created a unique style of her own. She sometimes collaborates with her husband Lorenzo, a silversmith. Her work is reminiscent of a painter’s style, with her precise inlay mimicking the smooth brushstrokes of a painting.
Measurements: 2 1/16" long x 1 3/4" wide
