Here are a few things I came across recently. The modern style ring is by Daniel Zender, eagle claw ring by Robert Begay, money clip by Bennie Bowekaty and bracelet possibly by Celina Yazzie.

Hey @StevesTrail. Look at what I just came across on Etsy. Looks similar to that beautiful cuff in your photo (I like yours better). Really wanted you to see the asking price. The seller’s cuff is hallmarked: IHMSS.
I had to purchase the modern ring on the left since it was so unusual and nice color contrast. The claw ring was just cool. My cuff was under a hundred so I’m a bit shocked at the Etsy price. And the Mediterranean coral was to retain an old piece in its original form. I’m sure some jewelers are disappointed.

Love your Baubles (great term) @StevesTrail! And I especially love the way you displayed them. I’ve used deer horns and colorful Mexican corn ears, but the coral is wonderful! Did you get that at the Tucson Gem & Mineral show. I’d love to find a large branch😄
I picked up the coral at auction. It’s vintage and a good size and I couldn’t see it chopped up for jewelry. It will get increasingly harder to find nice specimens as time goes on with the restrictions on harvesting Mediterranean coral.
