That’s a favorite of mine too right after Opal!
I’ve got my unusual Bat Cave Jasper cuff
One of my favorite stones…crazy or wild horse…by Cathy Webster!…
Picture of landscape Jasper…
Azurite by G Ramone……
And many different stones by Nakai and David Rosales….
I like Bat Cave Jasper. So unique.
Some really nice stones especially the Bat Cave Jasper!
This cuff I bought several years ago and was told it was older; probably 30’s or slightly later
. I only recently think I finally discovered what the stone is. I was reading about agates and came across plume agates that looked very similar. I believe that’s what it is.
That is lovely. I really like amethyst stone. Who is the Navajo jeweler who makes great amethyst pendants…very collectible…has a Q in his name. His name has slipped my mind.
Your other cuff has a really interesting stone. Looks like topography with rivers running through the stone. nice Silver work too.
I’m not sure about the maker of the amethyst pendants. The only “Q” name coming to mind is Quintana. Thanks
Thanks. I have 6 large, 4" to 6" pieces of this waiting for me to cut into slabs. Some have a lot of potential.
This is a wampum and sterling bracelet by GB Grant, Cherokee, Eastern Band
Wampum, the Northern Quahog, a clam from the coast of New England.
What a beautiful cuff (and I see your book )!
Thank you @Ziacat. My husband bought it for me during a visit to Cherokee NC several years ago. It was purchased from Traditional Hands Studios.
It’s a book I’ve mentioned a lot on the forum. Here it is…
I have carried it with me all over the Four Corners area.
We visited a nice little Native American craft shop in Cherokee when we were visiting the Smoky Mountains. I bought a cuff there from a Cherokee artist. I wonder if it could have been the same store.
Edit: Nope, googled it, different store.
Here is the link to Traditional Hands.
I don’t wear it as much I do the Navajo pieces.
