Well, congrats on your new gift! Itās 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.

Iāve 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 Garlandās webpage and into my consciousness. And now onto my wrist! Itās 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.

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

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

Thatās awesome 
I thought I had reached the final answer of n, but apparently I still needed the +1 since I just bought another last Saturdayā¦
Seriously though, itās a beautiful cuff and Iām glad it fits you well.

This cuff is divine!
You can never have enough cuffsā¦
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 sizeā¦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 leftā¦two Fred Harvey Cuffsā¦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!! Iām very happy to have received these. Any idea on the type of turquoise. Probably a 1950ās cuff.
Then I had 8 people staying at my house this weekend so I hid the stash and now I canāt find it. Oh Lordā¦help me.

Lovely jewelry! And how special it was your MILās, and Iām so sorry for your loss. Even though she lived a long good life, we still miss our loved ones 
I had an almost identical ring to the little one you have leaning on the iris pendant, but I lost it years ago.

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

Thank you all for the condolences! I appreciate it. @Ziaā¦I like the ring too but it doesnāt fit over my big knuckles. @Stracci i like the Irisā¦many Taxco artists make this but I love that it is signed by HA. @Patina ā¦yesā¦I know you love these cute puffy hearts, as do I. I love the history in all these hearts.
