@nanc9354 Thanks! I’m gonna have to search for a neckace to match those, too 
.
@StevesTrail, Love your cuff; those deep green stones just look fabulous with polished sterling. The stampwork is nicely done! I would have guessed the turquoise was Royston since I have a couple documented Royston pieces a with similar beautiful varigated green stones. Regardless, congrats on a great cuff!

Good point @Bmpdvm .You may be right. Just because it was described as Damale does not mean they were correct. It does have a Royston look. 
Agree. Having owned a killer Damale bracelet, with stones from a known 70s stash, I also doubt these are Damale cabs. They have a specific lime/acid green look to them that’s different from Carico Lake or Royston. Great cuff regardless, @StevesTrail.

I’m gonna wade in with a guess of Sonoran Gold, but that would partly depend on the age of the cuff since my understanding is that it is a newer used type of turquoise. How much I trust the info always depends on who’s telling me. For example, I totally trusted Garlands when they said my ring was Royston, but it also looked like it.
And it is a beautiful cuff!

@Jride101 Thanks! The ring is a size 7.
Really nice necklaces @Patina. I really like the fluted and melon bead piece. And the matching earrings! Did these come as a set?

@Bmpdvm Thanks! I’m wearing the fluted & melon necklace right now, lol. No, none of them came as sets. Earrings were all purchased a few months ago. I recently decided to try & match them with necklaces.

Have I mentioned that I very much like petroglyph jewelry? While there are a few well known Native American artists who produce fabulous petroglyph jewelry, I tend to search for unique, handmade pieces like these.
The smaller pin is hallmarked “Great Gallery Horsehoe Cyn Utah WN” (it’s a conjoined WN). The larger pin is hallmarked “Freemont(sic), an unreadable name '94”. Both of these pins represent petroglyph rock art found in specific locations in Utah.

I love those! Last time we were in Utah we went to Sego Canyon (north of I-70 north of Moab) to see the rock art there. It was really bizarrely cool. If you ever get a chance, go! Your pieces remind me of the pictographs (they were painted on the walls) there.

Here is a screenshot from the pictographs from the Great Gallery Horseshoe Canyon in UT which really looks like your pin.
And here is a screenshot from Sego Canyon where we visited. Sego Canyon had a lot of Fremont art work on the walls.
This one looks even more like your small pin!

Hey @nanc9354, is that bottom one from Arches National Park near the start of the trail going to Delicate Arch? And where is the top one from? Canyonlands? Love your pendant!

Your pendant is beautiful! Alex Sanchez is one of the well-known NA artists creating beautiful petroglyph jewelry. I often look at his work ~ haven’t purchased anything yet… Cool photos of rock art. The only in-person petroglyph rock art that I’ve seen was at Petroglyph National Monument in NM. That trip kicked-off my interest in finding petroglyph jewelry.

That is a wonderful park. We visited it for the first time in '21, and we were about the only ones on the trails. One of our nephews applied for the superintendent position there, but ended up at Colorado National Monument.
Interesting tidbit, if the marks are carved or etched into the rock, they are petroglyphs; if painted, they are referred to as pictographs.

Oh my gosh! @Patina, I love those pins!!! You @nanc9354 and @Ziacat, and your petroglyph pictures have me so anxious to get to the Southwest Nat’l parks soon!
I’m not home, but found a picture of one petroglyph bracelet I had made by Lucky Preston (Washoe). He’s not well known, but very talented. He trained with and worked for Ben Nighthorse Cambell when Ben owned a Native American gallery in Old Town Sacramento CA (a LONG time ago) When I lived in Sacramento, Lucky did all my repairs, etc. I used a turquoise cab I purchased from the Sleeping Beauty mine gallery, in Globe AZ, in the early 2000s (it’s the notorious “Lost Vein Sleeping Beauty cab😊):
And @Patina, mine is more ho-hum…your two pins are so unique…I love them

@Bmpdvm Thanks! Your cuff is wonderful and not at all ho-hum. That’s a lovely turquoise cab! My favorite figure on the cuff is the little antelope (at least that’s what I think it is).
