First of all your bracelets are breathtaking. I am an elder in the Sault Ste. Marie Chippewa indians. In my tribe blood quantity is not required,it is how long your family member(s) have been on the original census rolls. Mine dates to 1870. I am passionate about turquoise jewelry and it does not hurt that that is also my birthstone. I do not have a big collection but everything I own is authentic. Now one of my great joys is my husband and I helping to support Navaho elders.

Normally, I wear pearls but not today...I brought out some of my NA jewelry for some love.
Yessss. You look powerful.I remember seeing that 3-row square-cut turq bracelet...a beauty. And the squashblossom has is elegant in proportions, with interesting turquoise...do you know the type? The earrings seem to be amazing, though the angle hides the full glimpse.
The bracelet is a Harvey piece from the 40's, squash blossom is from the 60's, the earrings are Zuni. I have wonky ear piercings so earrings don't always hang right. I'm not sure of the turquoise in the squash blossom....Iwill have to locate the paperwork.

Wow! Well, cdtracing.....you got the love...that's for sure! Such stunning creations! I think I have worn something NA every single day for a couple of years now. I can't take myself away from it.
