George Lucas drew from two distinct earthly sources to create this regal revolutionary aesthetic. The most recognized influence is the \"squash blossom\" hairstyle, traditionally worn by young, unmarried Hopi women in Arizona. Lucas also referenced the \"soldaderas\" of the Mexican Revolution, such as Clara de la Rocha, who wore similar coiled hairstyles. This is our take on the feminine language of hair from a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away... or from right here in the Southwest. 1 1\/2” at its widest and 14\" long, oxidized copper chain and hook closure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eKarole, Grady and their son, Henry, make up a leather studio in Albuquerque, New Mexico. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTheir work is a 'mescolanza'. A blending of Karole's Lithuanian heritage, Venezuelan upbringing, and Northern Californian education with Grady's New Mexico roots. Oropopo's collections draw deeply from scientific, historical, and environmental themes, blending function with desert literature. Every piece is a dialogue among the designer, the wearer and the collective history of the Southwest.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oropopo","offers":[{"title":"Silver","offer_id":46648013160609,"sku":"NWHSSV","price":315.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/4977\/3729\/files\/698c41678f90eb9655ba545e959012803c5051a6c23a30a2ebba0deebe735f25.jpg?v=1783096102","url":"https:\/\/shop.denverartmuseum.org\/products\/shorter-whorls-necklace","provider":"The Shops at the Denver Art Museum ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
