Another trip to Palms Trading

Hubby and I were looking for something to do today, so I decided to take him to Palms Trading. He’d never been there, and I knew he would be impressed.

So he had it narrowed down to these 4 bracelets. Third one down was Eugene Mitchell.
The bottom one was extra delightful, but it was too big.

He finally decided on this one. It’s marked with either V or M. More research is needed!

As an extra bonus, here are the concho belts

@Stracci All I see are bolo ties😉. I like your hubby’s cuff choice with that fantastic piece of turquoise! I wish my hubby wore jewelry (only his wedding band for him). I always like to see men wearing jewelry. It’s appealing to me.

Great looking cuff, Stracci. Your husband did well and whoever made that large ring knew what they were doing. :wink:

@Patina Haha, lots of bolos, too!
They have everything, it’s an amazing store.
Yes, I’m really glad he likes jewelry!

We walked in, and he honed in on the cuffs immediately. The choices there are endless, but I’m glad he found one that he loved.
(Thanks for the compliment😄He likes that dino bone ring and wears it often!)

Your husband made an awesome choice with a beautiful cuff, @Stracci! I really like the simplicity, and the stone is killer! :+1: It looks great with his other pieces, and I concur with @TAH, his ring must have been made by a very talented silversmith. :wink:

Thanks @Ravenscry ! I’m working on a ring for him right now featuring a Wild Horse cab.

He thought the other cuffs seemed a bit feminine with all the details, so he was drawn to the one with straightforward linear design.

Can’t wait to see your lovely creation!

It’s definitely got a heavy, solid, masculine look, he chose well!! :+1::+1:

Oh my, love it. Now I wanna go back there. What a gorgeous cuff (and ring :grin:), and I like the other two with it. I need to start stacking my cuffs again. He has great taste! Do you know who made the other cuffs that he’s wearing with his new one?

I agree with Patina. I love seeing Native American jewelry on a guy, but my hubby won’t wear it either. Only his wedding band - which is of course is the most important thing :grin: But he really likes seeing how much I enjoy wearing it, and it’s totally not his personality anyway to wear jewelry.

Hi @Ziacat
We certainly had fun today. We could’ve spent a fortune!
Bracelet #1 belonged to husband’s grandmother, who was from Isleta Pueblo.
We have no idea how old it is, maybe 1960s-70s?

Bracelet #2 was made by Lyle Secatero, he bought it at Indian Market 2024.

They’re both really cool, and they look great together. Now I know why you like Lyle Secatero (wow, my voice texting butchered that :rofl:, always have to double-check it), I will definitely check him out the market!
