Excellent Old Silver Native American Possibly Hopi Necklace I
bought this at an estate sale a number of years ago. At first glance I
thought it was Mexican. On closer inspection I realized that it was
obviously Indian with the handmade chain, unmarked or signed but
silver. Anyway, after looking at books I decided that it looked like
some early Hopi. Measures 17 3/4" and has an smooth warm old patina to
it. $675 |

Impressive Turquoise & Silver Ring This is a Wow! Ring. I don't
know why it is not signed. I don't think it is real old although it has
a rather classic look about it. The turquoise is polished flat and has
a wavy glossy finish. The top of the ring measures 1 5/8" x 1 1/4" at
the widest point. The ring is a size 9 3/4. Now if you want a "Stand
Out" piece of jewelry, This will do the job. $250 |

d563. Large Vintage Fred Harvey Era Turquoise & Sterling Bracelet Measures 5 3/4" around the inside not including the gap at 1" which is adjustable but be sure to do it right. There is already the start of a little crack from someone squeezing it carelessly. It measures just under 1 1/2" wide in the middle. Has three great looking turquoise and I see that one has a well healed crack that poses no problem. I don't think you will notice this as I didn't until I saw the blown up picture. The terminals flair at the ends and it has a great unpolished patina. $210 |

Old Silver Turquoise Squash Blossom Necklace I think this is what
is called a box bow or bow box style. I believe this necklace is from
the 20's or
30's. It has been restrung so it is not in original condition. Length
is about 22 1/2". A fine piece.

1/4" long 1" wide and it has a decorative "invisible" clasp. Besides
the WELSH 900 it has a small lama in the middle. A unique bracelet and
very easy to wear. $140 |

d621. Vintage Heishi Turquoise & Coral Bird Fetish Necklace I believe the birds on this are carved from what is called olive shell. There are 40 birds with pieces of heishi, coral and turquoise between them. There are two strands and the shorter one is 30", the longer about 32". I'm also including the silver cones and the hook and eye. I see 3 broken tail pieces which don't stand out in my opinion. My guess would be that this is Santo Domingo. A great looking necklace, beautiful color and lots of work involved. Age unknown. $175 |

a566. Sterling Malachite & Onyx Earrings I bought these at a pawn shop in Colorado. At first I thought they were Mexican but I decided that if they were they would have been marked 925 rather than Sterling and the dangling pieces seem more Native American. You be the judge. Total length is 2 1/2". They remind me of Christmas trees. Great looking on. The backs are not matching but this is the way I got them and they are secure so I'm going to leave them this way $79 |

d546 Vintage Silver Turquoise Handmade Bracelet I believe that this is Zuni as the stones are flush inlay. Unsigned or marked but guaranteed coin silver or better. Measures 5 1/8" end to end not including the gap just over 7/8" but adjustable, and just over 1/2" wide in the middle. Weight 33.5 grams. The maker had a little trouble with the silver beads as there are 4 missing between stones in the middle of the bracelet and the placing of the larger beads in the middle is a little uneven and somewhat different in size. This would never happen with a factory made bracelet. There is one cracked stone at the end which poses no problem. It is secure. Very wearable alone or with others. I know you will love it. $239 |
