There was quite a bit of fabulous jewelry on that show.

Oh my. That takes me back. I still remember Sunny driving late at night in his cool car while In the Air Tonight by Phil Collins was playing. One of my all-time favorite songs.

Not sure if this is allowable as it’s a painted portrait—but then again, it’s not like they had cameras back in the 1530s!

Portrait of Thomas Cromwell (minister to King Henry VIII), painted by Hans Holbein the Younger ca. 1532-1534. This painting is in the National Portrait Gallery, London.

There is a record of Cromwell being gifted a turquoise ring. I like to think this is what he’s wearing here. Presumably it would have been Persian (Asian) turquoise.

The National Portrait Gallery webpage for this painting says, “The highlights of the ring appear to be painted with earth pigments. The blue stone is painted with indigo, with the rim painted with azurite.”

A close-up of the ring after restoration shows that the original colour was blue. (Link goes to the gallery’s own detail photograph, which is copyrighted)

Just saw Zach Williams in concert last night. Don’t know if it was this necklace, he had something on, but we were in the nosebleed seats so couldn’t tell :laughing: Love the Thunderbird.

Don’t know 100% if it’s Native American made, but I found a lot of other photos where he had things on; everything was just so tiny in the pics I couldn’t tell.
