A thread here said @Jason left Perry Null? Maybe he could clarify and if PN would craft something.

Ok my forum friends. Here are the results of one piece of the rough nuggets. I found an amazing Navajo artist to work his magic. You all may know him, Robert Johnson. 
He was able to create a naja, pendant, ring and bracelet from the one cab and two unformed pieces. The following are pics from the beginning to end result.
Robert was amazing to work with on this project. I hope to have the pleasure of meeting him in person someday.
Should you ever want custom work or are able to purchase from him at a show, you will not be disappointed. Just ask @Ziacat or @Stracci as they own some of his beautiful pieces.

@Stracci I am! The naja is like the browband on his award winning horse bridle.

Absolutely fabulous! His work is so beautiful. I would be jumping up and down with excitement if I was you. A while ago I said I didn’t love the lighter Number 8 turquoise, but I really like yours. It has such a pretty aqua color. It’s all amazing, but oh my gosh, that ring; I would be wearing it all the time. I’m glad to hear he was easy to work with. He was such a gentleman when I talked to him at the art market.
Here’s the bridle!
Is that what made you decide to go with this design?

When I approached him via Instagram about taking on my project, I sent him pics of his pieces I really liked. He had free rein. The only thing I changed, since I don’t wear earrings, I asked for the ring and pendant.

Well that was definitely the right decision!
I would have done the same thing. I love to wear earrings but I really can’t wear many Native American earrings, because they’re often too heavy for me. Even the flower earrings I have of his, I can only wear for a few hours at a time. And I love rings!

I love rings and cuffs! I think it’s because I can see them all the time, where earrings I only see if I look in the mirror. I have two pairs of locally made earrings that consist of 2 skinny almost 3 inch long leather strips. I wear them constantly, because they’re lightweight, and they’re cool looking. But not a lot of effort went into making them, and the annoying thing is here in IN I probably get more compliments on them than on my Native American jewelry. I just don’t get it 
Edit: love your flowers in the pictures.

Wow!!! What an amazing project…GREAT pieces!! How special to be able to work directly with the artist on these custom, beautiful things.
I concur with the others that I absolutely love the Native American earrings, but many of them are too heavy for me to wear, even with the support of the special earring backs. When I find a light pair, I treasure them and wear them a lot! Thankfully, I have a total of nine piercings in my ears, so lots of runway for different things. 
@here4turquoise , enjoy these fabulous pieces!

@here4turquoise, my husband and I went out for dinner this evening, and you inspired me with this post to wear my Robert Johnson earrings and cuff together 
Dinner is a perfect time for it, because the earrings are huuuge and quite heavy, so I only make it a few hours. And hey! Someone here in IN actually complimented the earrings, woo hoo
Now I just need a ring to match
