on a fully black background your camera that can also make phone calls overcompensated and brightened/lightened the scene it was requested to shoot.
when you switched to a light/dark background it auto adjusted and provided a more balanced shot.

Here are just a few of my recent Hopi jewelry additions. The earrings hallmarked “KT” aren’t identified. I was hoping for Kevin Takala (Hopi) but, the letter “K” doesn’t match his hallmark. The earrings do look Hopi made, imo.
They are all gorgeous! You are getting quite the collection of beautiful Hopi jewelry. I also definitely think that pair looks like Hopi. I have a pair that I couldn’t find the hallmark, but I feel same as you.
@Ziacat - have you tried using “Lobe Wonder” ear supports? They’ve allowed me to expand my earring options despite my aged, stretched lobe holes. Amazon.com
I have not. Would they work for wires? I looked at the link, and looks like they might just be for posts. I have larger backs for my heavier posts, but these look better yet. Thanks!
Because I have scrawny little Anglo wrists, my options for well-fitting cuff bracelets are limited. Anything with a gap larger than 7/8" rolls right off. So I was delighted to receive this little guy (Harrison Bitsue) in today’s mail. Besides being stinking cute, he stays in place!!!
You are very brave. I would be nervous to buy a cuff without trying it on first. Seems like nothing ever fits quite right, and I have to try on bunches.
@Patina - I’m loving your Hopi stash! I definitely need to fill that hole in my collection!
Meanwhile, I got lucky again with online shopping and received another small cuff today. I’m a big fan of traditional revival, but this contemporary whisp if silver hugs me in all the right places. It’s marked “AT”, which looks a lot like Abel Toledo’s stamp but I haven’t seen any references es to the sunrise(?) over the initials. Has anyone else seen it?
And, there’s more. The pendant on the left I’ve seen described as spinner/reversible/double-sided. I stumbled across this one while searching for something else. Lucky me .
