Is this a coral like you were referring to, susieserb? I have had it for about 20 years

My head is spinning with excitement. Very cool "shares"...We ALL need inspiration with our hobbies.

Here is my cuff, which is coming tomorrow. It had to be resized to fit my wrist. I felt a little guilty since the piece wasn't "born" this way. Apparently the cuff ends were cut down by an artist but not the original one since the jewelry was designed in the 30's.

This was an item that I had on layaway.

Ok, because I am a complete nerd and my first degree was history so I love research! I have compiled a few NAJ pics. I will try to explain if I can but I only know about a few different styles.

I will start where I started with my first necklace. This and my squash blossom are examples of Zuni petit Point jewelry. Don't know more than that but love it!:tup:My necklace also has matching earrings which I wear more than the necklace.

There is coin silver and then there's sterling silver. Old coin is silver coins melted to makes the pieces, they patina like pewter (:love:). Many of my NAJ is Museum and they have a heaviness, soulful feel. Just like ur belt. I want a modeling shot, that thing is insane!

Here we go. I took a couple of mediocre photos. The belt is too big around for me and I didn't feel like taking conches off so it's sitting very low. I am overweight and that makes it look a bit smaller than it is. It is VERY heavy. These posted sideways on my computer. Oops!

Thanks for the pics, Julide! The quill necklace is fabulous, and the style has made a comeback recently. Interesting how far back it goes. You are right, the bear claw jewelry is very rock n roll!

Just got it in the mail and believe it or not the cuff is delicate. Not heavy and armor like, (this is the second cuff I bought from the 30's that has a "shield" feel as oppose to a chunk).

I returned the first one because it spun around my wrist (made for a big man). This one would have too but the dealer had it professionally sized down; you can't even tell?
