Islandmomma, you’re being too humble. That’s not just any hallmark. Beautiful piece.

Thank you. I do enjoy their jewelry and have several pieces. One is a man’s gigantic ring that my son has been trying to get me to give him for a long long time but it’ll fit my thumb.
Thanks. I asked about the bottom one a long time ago and got rather disappointing responses. Later I was talking to someone who specializes in early NA jewelry and her opinion was that the slightly sloppy appearance of the exterior of the ingot was a result of working in primitive conditions. The turquoise is killer IMO.
@here4turquoise thanks so much! That horse bracelet is one I’ve had since 2007, and I bought it from a group of Native Americans selling jewelry on the side of the road in Oak Creek Canyon near Sedona. It was my 10-year wedding anniversary gift! I’m unsure of the maker; it has a little feather Hallmark inside it, but it’s a storyteller with two horses running from a butte under a little turquoise moon and red coral “star” in the sky. It’s a favorite that has gotten a lot of wear over the years. I wrote about it on one of the posts here about favorite pieces, I’ll have to find that or post another picture.
It is definitely a keeper!
@here4turquoise thank you…I love it, too. The “moon” is starting to change colors from the original bright blue turquoise that it was when I got it. I didn’t know that turquoise changed color back then, and I thought something was wrong with the stone! Now I know it just means it’s untreated and aging and that I apparently touch it a lot. Haha
Here’s that link : Which of your collection do you wear?
That is one great looking cuff. Thank you for sharing the pics!
