Everyone likes to post their fancies but do you all have favorite everyday wears? The ones that just fit perfect and you don’t have to think too hard about damaging them.
These are my most often worn rings:
Left to right- Philbert Begay, Carol Hatathlie, and Kee Yazzie
The Begay is a newer acquisition. I’ve been wearing it as my wedding band. My original has been showing damage from never taking it off— the problem with turquoise.
I love those rings. The Kee Yazzie ring reminds me of my Ira Custer cuff.
A daily wear for me is my wedding band. I originally had a cheap little gold/diamond ring, because I don’t wear gold so I didn’t want to spend the $ on a fancy one. The band broke, so I had my mom’s 1948 engagement ring resized (it didn’t fit her anymore). Unfortunately it’s too tight for me now, so I switched to a Dino Garcia band that I wear paired with a stamped Navajo band (bought both at the Eiteljorg Western Art Museum in Indy). And then I almost always have a cuff on each arm - at work, home, vacay, whatever. Ever since I bought it in April, I have been wearing my Anthony Lovato cuff. I’ll post a pic later.
I also practically never leave the house without earrings. I often wear little Zuni inlay studs, and always wear 3 different ones. One ear has 2 piercings, the other only 1 (it was an 80’s thing ), so it’s fun to mix them up. Although people are constantly asking me if I lost an earring…
This is the one I’ve had the longest and worn the most in the last 50 years. In California, a freind who was a dealer gave me this twisted wire and a pair of screw back Zuni earrings. None of the jewelry is marked.
The bracelet is slightly oval and think was made this way. For gp, Including a pic of how it’s made. Can you see the weld?
