REAL Native American Jewelry~

[cdtracing]

I haven’t seen much turquoise at all in my area. There was a shop I remembered having some amazing pieces, but unfortunately I was a week late. A lady from out west purchased forty-five pieces, which were mostly cuffs and rings. So what was left was pretty picked over, but I did buy a few pieces. I do not know much about turquoise, but I do believe this to be Native American. It’s marked RB, under that Sterling and under that a sideways B. I found quite a few options for the RB, still not sure which artisan made this ring, but I like the presence it has [emoji4]View attachment 4152335

Oooooo! I love big rings. The color of your turquoise is beautiful!

Lovely bracelets! Tell us about who made them, if you care to share. That sugilite inlay is stunning and very different.

The inlay necklace is also a vintage Zuni set. The small inlaid turquoise bracelet is Navajo. The coral is all untreated natural coral, bracelet is Navajo and necklaces Santa Domingo. Finally the turquoise necklace is also Santa Domingo. The earrings, rings and cuff are all Zuni, mostly vintage.

Thankyou, cdtracing! I love your collection too! I forgot to mention, the second cuff posted belongs to my mother. It’s from the 1960’s. I helped her find it and we bought it together. It’s her first native piece, and she wears it everyday as a personal talisman.

Stunning collection, top tier quality. Thanks for sharing! Really choice pieces. That chunky one from the 60s is insanely great!

As I'm sure you know, the inlay pendant on the beautiful Navajo silver beads is by Bobby and Corraine Shack, their classic thunderbird. We have a bolo by them that's very similar. I can't quite tell from the photos but I'm guessing the inlay includes tortoise shell?

Thank you for the compliments! You are right! Bonny and Corrine Shack pendant. It was from the 70’s along with the earrings and beads. I do believe it has tortoise shell in it.

All in all, I really love the vintage stuff. The oldest piece is the huge ring, which is late 40’s and the snowflake cuff is just a a bit newer than the 60’s cuff which you mentioned, but I’ve been told that it was earlier too. I’m not sure anymore. The third one ( I call it the sunflower, is from around that time too.) Actually, now I forgot that I also have an Alice Quam coral ring which I forgot to post. I’ll post a few more pics shortly....

Yikes, you forgot an Alice Quam piece?! She was so amazing. I have a big honking AQ coral cluster bracelet to match your ring.

Here is the Alice Quam coral ring.
I also added 2 more pics of the cuffs.
These cuffs and the thunderbird really feel spiritually wonderful to wear somehow. The necklace gives me so much courage, and the cuffs are mentally clarifying , like meditative mandalas. They look great with elegant dressy clothes as well as with jeans. The Turquoise ring is modern, as I bought it at the Zuni show at the annual Native American art show 2 years ago in Santa Fe.
