SALT GRASS / KRISTI FRANK MONTAÑO
Salt Grass is a love letter to New Mexico. It speaks to the land, the rocks, and the abundant beauty of the Southwest
Salt Grass Jewelry was founded in 2016 by Kristi Frank Montaño. Before that, she was producing jewelry for notable brands in NYC & Maine. As a 14th-generation New Mexican, her work is characterized by symbolic shapes and textures observed in the high desert. The name Salt Grass comes from Distichlis Spicata, a species of grass also known as desert saltgrass. It is common in the Americas and can be found locally in the clay river banks of the Rio Grande.
Salt Grass Jewelry is a reminder of our devotion to nature. Our purpose is to create timeless jewelry that feels both modern and of the earth. Each piece is hand-sculpted in our Santa Fe studio with recycled metals.
