Stunning Maiden pendant on a gal with great style! All her pieces look wonderful, and I’m always happy to see a great piece by Victor. Thanks for the share!

Fabulous! It’s perfection on the beads. You have gifted her a true heirloom.
Of course I love the ring…tell her when she’s around me she better not take it off and set it down 
Do you know if that’s Number 8 turquoise?
I’m also liking the funky cool earrings, but if course all the bling is great!

@here4turquoise, @chicfarmer, and @Ziacat, you’re welcome, ladies. 
I was sure to share all of the thoughtful and kind comments with her and she blushed rather intensely. Victor’s ring is one of her favorites. 
She told me she’ll take the protective strip off of the double sided foam tape that she uses to make up it’s larger size so that it sticks to her finger. 
I don’t Zia. 
Although I’ve always thought it resembled it.
She picked those up at a shop in Chesterton, IN where artisans were selling their wares. They have an awesome rough, handmade look, and the softer finish is beautiful. If I was a woman, I’d gladly wear them.

@Phoenix7 and @TAH, I’m glad you guys enjoyed the share. I’m sure she’ll blush again after seeing your guys’ comments and compliments. 
She was thrilled with it, Phoenix. I’ve always felt that truth is spoken in silence; after opening it, she just quietly studied it and ran her fingers over it. I ended up having to push her to put it on that strand: if I hadn’t, she’d have just held onto it.

The two bracelets look very beautiful. The larger one looks a bit like Mark Chee’s.

Thank you again, @Phoenix7.
@Jiangxi_cn, those are two of her favorite bracelets. The one you point out does indeed resemble Mark’s work. The carinated bands are separated by unbelievably thick, twisted round wires, and it is heavy. There’s no hallmark on either one, but they both have an exceptional amount of wear.

I thought I would put this in the thread with Anthony Lovato. I bought this necklace a short time ago. It came with the pendant which I don’t care for. It doesn’t come off unless the bale is cut. It doesn’t seem like AL would have put this pendant on especially since it is hallmarked 925. Is it an agate? I will be searching for a pendant..although I wish I had a good buddy like @Ravenscry 
I don’t have any tufa pendants, but after seeing all the tufa cuffs on here, I am really warming up to them. It is funny how your tastes change and your appreciation grows for other types of artists and processes.

A cast pendant would look stunning on your link chain, @nanc9354. I love the stamp on the links.
Hey now, 
you’ve got a friend in me Come to the Eiteljorg Market this year and we’ll have a ball! There’s bound to be numerous cast pendants to choose from!

Haha. I’m tempted to go to Eiteljorg museum. I really wish I would have known about it when my son lived there…but any time I have to drive around Chicago, it gives me pause.

I guess I’m confused about the pendant. If it’s not original to the chain, it was added, so it stands to reason it will come off. From the photo it looks like it should.

Ooh @Ravenscry your friend has impeccable taste and style. The Lovato pendant really caps off her look! What a beautiful and thoughtful gift, and clearly it will fit in perfectly with your friends collection and she is one who will truly appreciate it. And that ring!!

Thank you OO! She’ll be humbled by your kind words. 
I mentioned it earlier, but her Victor Coochwytewa ring is probably the piece she wears the most.

It’s the careful thought behind it that makes it something very special.

Anthony’s pendant look great on those silver pearls, complimenting her other pieces! And wow!..that ring is certainly a winner…and thanks to @chicfarmer, we now know it’s by Victor! Wonderful to see the mixture of Hopi, Kewa and Navajo(?) coming together in a fabulous look!

@Bmpdvm @Ravenscry’s friend is rocking a gorgeous look altogether. But he was the one who said Victor did the ring; I insist on no credit.
