So I’m not very knowledgeable in recognizing which mines turquoise comes from (one thing I have learned is doing that is really difficult).

However, I inherited a buckle from my mother that looks a LOT like your bolo. Not just the style, but also the turquoise. It’s very large, shaped very much like yours, and from your photos, appears to be a very similar color.

She didn’t have any documentation on where the turquoise came from, but a very knowledgeable gentleman who owned a shop in Flagstaff felt it was Kings Manassa. I don’t know; I just wonder if that’s a possibility for yours.

It could be a piece of King Manassa. Whatever it is the look is nice and it is a big piece of turquoise. You see that style and you think the 1980s. It looks like you have a good size hand, guessing that stone could possibly be a couple hundred carats, looks thick. $500 - $600ish. You need to get a leather cord and some nice tips and start wearing that bolo.

So this is why your bolo totally reminds me of my buckle. I didn’t see a Hallmark on yours; mine has DD on it. That might give you another way to research yours further. My mom bought hers in a pawn shop in the 90’s in Kanab, UT.

I agree with Jason; wear it and enjoy!!
