What are heishi beads?
Heishi rondelles are flat, disc-like beads, the first traces of which were found in the Rio Grande Valley. They can be made of wood, gemstones, synthetics and many other materials.
With these shell beads, we return to the very origin of the Heishi bead, since it means shell in the Keres language, an Amerindian dialect. It's one of the oldest jewelry components in New Mexico!
