Ok, this is the earring tray, and the combined ring an overflow earring tray…
There is a fair amount of Taxco/Mexico in both trays, primarily the top left of the earring tray, and some hoops and things on the ring tray.

I’ve reached the point of needing a third earring tray, things are way too jammed up, and i have non-southwest jewelry ferreted in other places too.
I wear a lot of earrings, and i like em big.

I love the tiny detail work in all the mini-squash blossoms. Well, everyone here has beautiful stuff!
Unfortunate that I’ve had to mostly stop wearing my heavier ones…one of my earlobes is a little stretched due to 25 years of phone to that ear in the office. 
My gosh, I’m old. LOL
Always looking for nice light ones!

Which ones? I am not familiar with the artists, if I’m remembering correctly everything pictured is quality stamped & hallmarked.
That is only a fraction of the earring collection I inherited…plus, necklaces, cuffs, rings, pins, pendants, belts, plus misc pieces like button covers. I have to do something with the horde, too much to sell one at a time.

You sound like me …I have inherited a huge variety of Navajo pieces. I have been researching each and every piece, cleaning them up and organizing per artist.
My common artist are - Danny Romero, D Livingston, Chimney Butte, Oscar Betz, Aaron Toadlena, NaNa Ping, Sunshine Reeves, Lee Bennett, Ronnie Willie We have tons of cuffs!!! There were a few Oscar Betz earrings… and I have come to love them all!! Such a good silversmith and artist. From you picture the turquoise & lapis (looks like) at the top of photo, those look like Oscar’s to me. Several of mine are made very similar. He signs Oscar Betz (Patisi). Thank you for sharing your pieces!!!

thanks! those have tiny potsherds in them - somewhat controversial. 
there’s another pair with potsherds - on the far left, red pottery with minty green stones.
i bought another earring tray for myself for xmas, hoping to spread them all out a bit and give them some breathing room. i’m overflowing and the 2nd tray will be nearly half filled right away. O_O i want to segregate them by all silver, tabs, non-native, and similarity - idk. i’ll have fun playing with layout while i figure that out!

Love Kit Carson pieces. I had a bunch of his pins - sold most of them but kept the bucking cowboy that looked like the Pendleton Round-Up cowboy logo. I think I still have a few pair of his earrings. His jewelry is so fun.

@Ziacat I notice you have some inlay hoops in the lower right. I recently acquired a similar pair. Are yours signed? Mine are engraved M.C. Zuni
