Galisteo Street  |
Galisteo Street is busy with businesses,
galleries and shops. But as you get farther away from the plaza
and look closely, beyond the thick, lush cottonwoods along the
street, you will see this beautiful bright door. Sparkling in
the evening sun, the single door, with a wrought iron grill,
opens onto a pebble strewn courtyard filled with apricot trees
and bancos (benches) draped in Navajo weavings. Galisteo is 1 1/2 x 1 1/8 and is shown with a sterling silver plated bail. It is layered on a clear green base. If you would prefer a handmade PMC pure silver bail, it is an additional $15. |

Canyon Road |
Canyon Road in Santa Fe, a twisting, winding
uphill road that captures ancient doors and windows and gates on
both sides. Canyon Road pendant represents an old door in a home on upper Canyon Road. The rich red and copper hued double door opens inward to a beautiful garden rich with lavendar lilacs, orange lantana and trumpet vines. A cascading old stone fountain, filled with floating lillies, invites you to come in and sit for awhile................ Canyon Road is 2 1/2 x 1 1/2 and is layered on a clear red base. The doors are textured, not smooth but slightly rough. The glass is annealed and fire polished, so while there is texture, it is not sharp. It is like very fine sandpaper. The rest of the pendant is smooth. Canyon Road is shown in the photos with a sterling silver plated bail. A handmade .999 pure PMC fine silver bail is also available as a substitute. If you choose my PMC bail, there is a $15 increase in the price. Please contact me if you want the pure silver bail. |

set for you. A soft white Persian cat crawls up in your lap and
the sweet smell of jasmine drifts in through an open window
right before you doze off for the afternoon. Acequia Madre is 1 1/4 x 1 3/4 and layered on a green base. It comes with the sterling silver plated bail that is seen in the photo. |
