Great video, I learned the claw in the buckle is a badger claw, cool. I have one much like yours but different. I think the variety is also what makes them so distinctive and interesting

I love native American jewelry is beautiful Arts of work

So great to hear from a professional! Many many thanks**)

Im looking for a squash blossom necklace....not a fake

I am from Colorado and 68 years old. I lived in New Mexico for a number of years. Gallup Farmington Aztec traveled all over the state. I worked for a Native American radio station in Farmington and was introduced to many tribal members and artists. I have a lot of old pawn but my pride and joy are my Tommy Singers, and Frankie Aussie pieces plus many more. I went to the library years ago and have updated it since and printed out Hallmarks makers marks play keeping up with you while shopping is a very important tool. God bless you all. By the way my mother was descendant of jicarilla Apache and Cherokee, and Irish. She looked full-blooded native american. She was beautiful love to you all❤❤❤

Trang sức của bạn rất tuyệt ! Đáng tiếc không được thấy gần hơn.

👍🆒

Over 2000 dislikers are just mad they can't find real native jewelry.

👍

Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful collection and your knowledge.

Beautiful, I would like to see a pann of your jewelry and where the Artist "mark" would be on the jewelry. Thanks.

I’ve always loved turquoise jewelry. Unfortunately the stuff that was passed down to me from my father was taken… so I’m starting from scratch. I have lots of learning to do, this video was fun and informative to watch. Even my wife was interested. Thank you!

Are you selling any pieces, let me know. Thanks . I like the bullet and the dancing man.

What kind of turquoise is the green pendant ?? Is it Chinese ???

❤🎉🎉🎉❤

Thank you so much for your educational video and for showing us your great collection. I learned more about this beautiful stone turquoise. I just started my collection so before I buy any new pieces I will use your knowledge.

The great thing about internet is I can find great content that may be a few years old. Your collection is amazing!!! And I have no doubt it is a lifetime of collecting. To oxidize silver, place a peeled and smashed boiled egg in a baggie. Place silver in bag and mix well. Watch every few minutes to get to level of darkness desired. Rinse off. Cheap and very effective.

In 1983 for my 16th birthday i begged my Mom for a turquoise ring i had seen in a shop in our local mall and thankfully i got it! It is a single turquoise rock with a snake that curls around it and his head lays on top with his two little turquoise eyes. It is stamped Effie G and i have no doubt it is a real Effie piece. Sadly some time down the road his head broke off and I've often wondered if i could contact her or someone in her family and have them replace the head of that snake....

I have some pawn rings I’ve inherited can I send you some pictures?

I learned Thank you.

Let's see - Indian jewelry? Ah, turquoise and silver. What, no other choices? No, being an Indian is not about choices. They do things the same for ten thousand years. Deal with it.

Very nice collection 💕

Appreciate your knowledge. Would be great if your camera-lady could zoom in more on the pieces you are talking about. thanks

Love you guys

How you like that f##t spray Crappie Kidd...your reaction was priceless!!

I’ve always been attracted to Native American jewelry. Recently found out I am a descendant from Dragging Canoe, had no idea I had Native American in me. Might explain why I guess…haha. In honor of finding this out I just commissioned a cuff from Curtis Pete. I don’t know much about him, but love his work! Thanks for all your great information.

have a few navajo turquoise and coral pieces passed down from my great uncle and grandfather , i believe they are real after watching and learning in these videos. Where/how would be the best way to go about having these pieces appraised ? (i’m in a small rural area in the midwest , not a lot appraisers/jewelers close by)

Well that was two years ago lol. But she was the talker, still wondering why she wasn't the one sitting there. So are you still selling? I just found your video. Thanks!

I wish I could hear what she is saying and please don't be afraid to get close ups of the jewelry. I'm wondering why she isn't sitting there with you since she's really the talker? I don't mean to be rude at all, I hope I didn't come through that way.! Beautiful stuff.

A lot of what you are pointing out is off camera, hard to know what ur talking bout

Your pieces are GORGEOUS ❤

Where do you go to get your pieces repaired? I have a broken Navajo watch cuff.

Beautiful treasures. Thank you for sharing. 🌞

Great info!

Thanks for sharing.

Thank you so much for sharing that information! I almost got "taken" trying to buy turquoise--believe some of it was actually shattuckite--and no I am not rich, so every lil buy takes some saving. Videos like this help out us makers or jewelers trying to use authentic materials.

Excellent way to clean sterling without damaging or scratching it ,is a cleaner called Never Dull . It's located in the stores in the car cleaning section. It's a cotton substance in a can,you just tear off a piece and rub your jewelry & it cleans right up after going over item a few times. Then just wash off in warm soapy water and rub dry with cloth. Will look brand new. Very easy to use.

Nice I have been checking out silver and turquoise jewelry had an unfortunate situation had to sell it to get back to CA from Colorado got my wallet stolen it sucked and still rqn out of gas 40 miles out of Lakeside. Glad that's period is over now in Indiana wish I was in a. Place to start building my collection again. Great coll collection beother

Some of the early work used a jasper known as ox blood The med coral became popular in the late 30s The reason the blue turquoise turn green with wear is the same reason we find it green in nature its the presents of iron in our bodys Or nature Big problem here in four corners area is the natives buy this dyed stuff then sell it to dumb ass tourist plus the constantly use nickel in place of silver this makes it hard for the other artists to make a living selling the real stuff. Oh well

Nicest pieces that l seen.thank you for the video
