Well, congrats on your new gift! It’s a beautiful pendant. I love its unique abstract design. Ruben Saufkie is one of favorite Hopi silversmiths. Sometimes, a piece of jewelry is just meant to be for you. I hope you enjoy wearing it.

I’ve been searching for the right Hopi overlay cuff to join the family for awhile now. My challenge is my 5 3/4" wrist. But last week this one sort of jumped off the Garland’s webpage and into my consciousness. And now onto my wrist! It’s by Anderson Koinva and is everything I imagined. The design, the workmanship and the fit. It rides around happily exactly where I want it. No squirming, rolling, shifting or pinching. No sudden dives to the floor. Just smiles and glows wherever my hand goes. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Oh my gosh, that is absolutely gorgeous. Right up my alley. I keep telling myself I’m going to get another Hopi cuff, and then I then I just never do it. Maybe next year - your cuff inspires me :grin:

@Ziacat - you’re undoubtedly aware that the proper number of cuffs to own is n+1. Where n = the number of cuffs you own now.

That’s awesome :laughing: I thought I had reached the final answer of n, but apparently I still needed the +1 since I just bought another last Saturday…

Seriously though, it’s a beautiful cuff and I’m glad it fits you well.

@Ziacat - Thank you. I hope you’re enjoying your newest cuff (your current ā€œnā€) as much as I’m loving mine.

This cuff is divine!
You can never have enough cuffs…

You found an extremely nice Hopi cuff. The classically simple, yet bold wave design is just fabulous, I find it very attractive. Congratulations on finding your size…I have the opposite problem, my overall size is 6.5 - 6.75, a popular size, so it seems everything fits me. Overchoice!!!

My MIL passed away about a month ago. She lived a long, beautiful life. She was 93. I inherited a few more southwestern jewelry items I thought I would exhibit.


Upper left…two Fred Harvey Cuffs…a Zuni bracelet and another all silver FH cuff
pendant By Tom Charley. Feather Pendant by Black Star (shop?) . Zuni pendant by Norman & Virginia Hooee. A sterling Iris pendant by Hector Aguilar. A turquoise and coral pendant signed and the only item not Southwest is some more puffy hearts which I LOVE!! I’m very happy to have received these. Any idea on the type of turquoise. Probably a 1950’s cuff.

Then I had 8 people staying at my house this weekend so I hid the stash and now I can’t find it. Oh Lord…help me.

Lovely jewelry! And how special it was your MIL’s, and I’m so sorry for your loss. Even though she lived a long good life, we still miss our loved ones :weary:

I had an almost identical ring to the little one you have leaning on the iris pendant, but I lost it years ago.

Pretty stash @nanc9354 !
So sorry about MIL.
All these pieces are nice! I adore the iris.

My condolences to you on loss of your MIL. While I like these NA pieces, it’s the sterling puffy heart bracelet that caught my eye. It looks chock-full of charms.

Thank you all for the condolences! I appreciate it. @Zia…I like the ring too but it doesn’t fit over my big knuckles. @Stracci i like the Iris…many Taxco artists make this but I love that it is signed by HA. @Patina …yes…I know you love these cute puffy hearts, as do I. I love the history in all these hearts.
