Yes. I also have another pair of earrings by her.
Okay, that’s a different hallmark, so different M. Tsosie. But thanks!
Oh good grief! I had not even thought about putting it on beads! Thank you so much for suggesting that and the bale is definitely large enough! I have turquoise, old tort heishi, old ivory/tort/turq heishi and others. So I will experiment this week and post photos for opinions. I tried some of my heavier liquid silver strands with it, but the pendant weighs a ton. While it looked good, I was nervous about the strands stretching.
Absolutely stunning!
412 grams packs more than a punch! You are so correct that the piece should reside where it all began. How fortunate for you…and the mine owners!
Be very careful especially with the tortoise. I was thinking about silver beads more than heishi type beads. They are usually better at handling a heavy pendant.
