Yes, I got mine on ebay. The posts were not secure, but I like earrings. Got the posts from Michaels. Sorry, the picture is not very clear.
I love this thread! Everyone has such beautiful pieces. I really enjoyed looking at the squash blossom necklaces. I'll have to post a couple of my pieces over the weekend. Thanks for sharing your photos ladies.
Turquoise--one of my favorites.
Starting with my oldest beads, turquoise from Western Asia circa 2500 BC (triangular bead in center of middle strand, and small oblong beads scattered throughout, mostly green rather than blue) and Roman turquoise beads circa 1st to 4th centuries AD (blue beads in center of longest strand), mixed with other ancient beads.
Jumping way forward in time, turquoise nuggets from various US mines mixed with antique trade beads and semi-precious stones.
Turquoise nuggets from various US mines with semi-precious stones, antique Victorian brass charms and modern sterling charms.
Squash blossom necklace bought by my mother on the Navajo reservation in the 1970s.
Heishi necklace also bought on the reservation in the 70s, with a vintage Native American coral and turquoise nugget necklace.
Two vintage native american rings and a ring from Poland with Baltic amber and (probably) Chinese turquoise.
Native American crescent moon pendant with inlay of turquoise, spiny oyster, mother of pearl, coral, lapis, jet and sugilite.
Elizabeth Showers Simone pendant in turquoise, diamonds and gold.

Thanks, jellyv. I assembled them myself, although the one with the charms was a bracelet that just didn't look good on me, so I took it apart, removed some beads and charms that I didn't particularly like, and added some new stones to get the look I wanted.
