Ziacat, I've a feeling that we're not in Kingman anymore

You never cease to amaze me with your sleuthing skills! What a great comparison piece!

Here is another one for comparison. I was told that it looked like Damale Faustite

I’m rescinding my original sentence about “…not ruling out Chinese turquoise.” From the info & jewelry comparisons presented here, it now looks to me like the squash blossom’s cabs are Damele.

Wow Steve you are amazing to find that!I have been looking for the last two weeks and have literally gone through thousands of photos and could not find anything close. I had contacted mmrogers and he said whomever made this was a skilled silversmith and to look out for a similar piece. Thanks, that one is obviously made by the same smith.

And that is the exact color of the stones in my necklace. I could not get a decent photo with my phone.

I have zero input except that it’s a gorgeous squash.

Wow! Look at that fabulous Kingman turquoise

Seriously, that’s one amazing necklace, and your wife looks great in it!

Glad I finally saw this. It looks fantastic on your wife!

Thanks and good to hear from you. I hope everything is going well. I did make a video but couldn’t make it small enough to send to you.

Islandmomma · February 22, 2025, 8:53pm

I’m sorry I didn’t get to see the video but the picture is great. I’m doing well. Just got back some great bloodwork so I’m happy. Have you found any more treasures lately?

I have a needlepoint concho belt that I found in a box that was put away about 20 years ago. If I don’t procrastinate too bad, I will post up some pictures. But as for treasures, I have seen some extra nice ones from you lately!

I would love to see pictures of the concho belt. I’ve been thinking about putting my 70’s one on new leather (save old) so I can wear it. I have gotten some great Augustine Lovato necklaces from his daughter. Being retired has definitely put a crimp in my jewelry purchases.
