Show me the turquoise! :)

[sdkitty]

I have a small collection of turquoise. My grandfather made the ring on the far left and the smaller necklace was purchased in Santa Fe a few years ago. The rest was gifted/inherited so I don't know the exact origins.

I'm late to this thread. Like your collection. So nice that you inherited such beautiful, wearable pieces.

That's a gorgeous bracelet! Do you know the history of the piece?

thanks
the background on this one is not totally clear to me ....I bought it from a small store in Coronado. The guy told me it was new, made by a young Navajo artist. Later I showed it to a very knowledgeable guy who has sold me a lot of my silver jewelry. He believed it was an old piece. It's stamped with a name but when I googled the name I didn't find any pieces that seemed comparable to mine. Anyway its nice; I like the stones and I get compliments on it.

Im posting a pic of the Bisbee tourquoise pendent the wife designed. The goldwork is done by John our jeweler, & adds a little unique to the item, the weight is about 37cts-steve, the lettering on the bottom says 'words have no meaning'...

excuse me for cluttering up the thread, but I have a question for you silver and turquoise ladies. I have some nice NA silver jewelry - large bracelets, some with stones and one large stamped silver one, plus quite a few pairs of earrings. Sometimes when I wear my bracelets I wear silver earrings. But sometimes (esp when travelling) I wear my diamond studs. I guess part of the reason for this is just to keep things simple and wear the same jewelry every day when travelling. Do you ever wear diamond studs with your silver jewelry?

Yes. Diamond studs are my basic everyday earring so they are worn with my NA turquoise. I have a couple of pairs of turquoise earings but they never get out v

I go through days, weeks, sometimes months wearing my diamond studs every day. Then I'll pull out my silver earrings - more likely in summer.

Yes summer is definitely silver time. Living in silver this summer so far.

Hi @andee! Thanks! The watch is a Michele Deco (35mmx33mm). Not quite the largest model. I purchased it on sale at Ross Simons earlier this year. I love the brand. They have lots of styles and bands to choose from on the Michele website. There is a TPF thread for Michele watches too. Would love to see pics if you do get one [emoji4]
