Sun Kissed (NEW STEREO MIX)

Jewelry making has been a Reano family tradition for over a century.  The Reano family legacy started with Jose Isidro Reano and Clara Lovato Reano. Janie Reano is proudly carrying on tradition. Clara introduced her to jewelry making by teaching her to cut olivella shells to create heishe beads. Then progressing to various stones and shells. Eventually, how to grind, sand and polish the beads. Years later, Janie would expand
her skills under her Aunt Angie Owen. Learning the skills at creating mosaic jewelry. In 2016, Janie branched out at making her own style of jewelry. The influence of living in "Green" Oregon gave her the idea to recycle the left-over material used in creating necklaces and mosaic inlay. Janie recycled the material by drilling each small piece then tumbling them for several weeks. Then, 'stringing' up beads using sterling silver wire. The jewelry was debuted at the SWAIA Winter Market 2016. These days Janie collaborates with her mother, Rose  Reano.  She sells her jewelry year-round at the Palace of Governors in downtown Santa Fe and online at www.kewaparrotjewelry.com .  She also participates at SWAIA Santa Fe Indian Market and Eiteljorg Indian Market and Festival in Indianapolis Indiana.
