A few of many pieces from my mother


My mother is downsizing and I’ve become the new owner of quite a few pieces of old Native American jewelry. I’ll post some more pictures later, but for now wanted to share a couple of the smaller pieces.

Here’s some more. Most of the older pieces came from The What Not Shop in Cerritos, New Mexico in the late 1960’s, early 1970’s. Her and my father were long time friends with Mitch & Margie Mitchell. They would drive from Phoenix 4-5 times a year and buy/sell/trade with them while us kids poked around the town.

Your mother had wonderful taste in jewelry :grin: I LOVE all the color variations of the turquoise.

I’m pretty sure I’ve read about that shop somewhere.
