Sorry for the late response…I was trying to locate this Bisbee Bob set. It has a reversible pendant with turquoise (I’m thinking this is probably stabilized and not Bisbee, but maybe a more knowledgeable can chime in?) on one side and Anasazi pottery on the other side. The earrings are also pottery shards. From what I understand, he was known for his pottery jewelry, as well as turquoise, at least some of which was Bisbee. It sounds like he likely used what was handy at the time after his initial collection of Bisbee turquoise was used? My knowledge of Bisbee Bob is based almost exclusively from what is listed here. He sounds like quite the character!

How lovely that you have rings by Bisbee Bob that your mother chose and wore. I’ll bet you treasure them! I have jewellery that I inherited from my late mother, and I cherish these pieces all the more because she loved them so much.
No pressure but if you’d like to share a photo or two, I would love to see them. Bisbee Bob is before my time but he sure is a legend!
