Great cuff and ring. I love the colors of Royston.

Your countertops remind me of my Jasper ring I posted in another thread

Beautiful Turquoise Mountain ring @Ziacat! The deep blue is mesmerizing. I’d love a Turquoise Mountain ring but haven’t seen much Turquoise Mountain jewelry…I’ll have to keep my eyes open for it. Hope more folks have pieces to share.

Thank you! I don’t wear it a lot because it only fits on my little finger. I have no idea if the stone is stabilized or natural; it was just typed in tiny letters on a sticker on the band, “Turq Mountain.” I also have a pair of smallish earrings that are Turquoise Mountain. I’ll post them eventually.
I love your Royston pieces. I don’t believe I owned any Royston until my purchases on our trip last week. I have one ring I bought years ago that I suspect might be Royston, but the shop owner only told me it was natural Nevada turquoise (she guessed Pilot Mountain, so 
).

Well…I bought this belt a while ago and when I first got it, I was disappointed. The silver was somewhat crudely cut and soldered together in the back and the stippling was not so great…so I stuffed it away. Now I realize the silver isn’t so bad (not Hopi) but the stones are the reason I impulsively bought this. Six beautiful stones…Royston? 8 mine? Any advice or comment welcome. It has some nice weight to it…260 G. Any thoughts on age? Unsigned.

I vote Royston, but I can see why you’re thinking possibly No. 8, and why you were attracted to the belt. Here’s a grouping of Royston, from Waddell Gallery:

@Ziacat, well since Royston is mined in Nevada, you may well be correct with your thoughts. The Pilot Mountain turquoise that I’ve seen doesn’t look like Royston…but we all know the variability of turquoise from a mine, so who knows.

I also vote Royston. I have a 70’s necklace with a piece of Royston that looks similar to the #8 that you see now. After a number of years of researching the hallmark, some girl jumped on here one day and halfway identified the hallmark (couldn’t remember the man’s last name) as the man who worked with her father at the Royston mine when she was young. He made jewelry and she had a couple pieces and said her mother also had some. She was supposed to post again but just vanished. I will see if I can find the original post. Beautiful old turquoise necklace with pendant market "RISTA"

Check THIS out! At Cameron Trading Post, and, no, my budget did not allow for this one
I’m sure it was in the gallery which was closed by the time we got there from GC, so I wouldn’t have been able to see it in person.

Here are 3 of my Royston rings that are verified Royston, by the silversmith, on the reverse of each. In the 1970s, he used to buy rough turquoise directly from miners, in Tonapah, NV. The larger pear shape is 22.5 C, smaller pear shape is 14.5 C, and the round is 18.5 C. (My photo of these Royston turquoises doesn’t do them justice.)

Beautiful Royston rings, @Patina!! And I love the twist around the bezel. I would wear the heck outta those.
Here are 4 pieces with Kingman. I’ve posted 3 of them on here previously, but it’s interesting to see the difference faces of Kingman all together.
These 2 are from the same artist who goes to the mine, and picks out her stones. The Birdseye is natural, and the other is stabilized.
These 2 were both pawn, and the tickets say Kingman. The single stone is natural, and I’m assuming the other is stabilized.

Lone Mountain Turquoise. Both purchased from Gene Waddell and verified:
One of my “go to” rings by Howard Nelson. Gene had Howard make a-couple Lone Mountain rings:
Cuff by Edison Cummings:
And just because I love this ring and Gene Waddell stated it is old Lone Mountain😬

I purchased a Robert Johnson naja with a Royston Montezuma cab. This was purchased online directly from him and was so stated on my invoice. Until I purchased this piece I had not heard of Montezuma.
Today I received a new book by Mike Ryan II, Turquoise in America, part 3,1990-2020. Here is a photo identification listed in his book and my naja.
I have not looked through the entire book but would recommend this three part series as reference material.
