I love the story about your grandfather finding the bracelet in the dirt. Can you imagine finding something like that by accident?!!!
Your Squash Blossom is definitely from the SW part of the US. It is REAL turquoise and all hand made Native American. The turquoise might be from Kingman, AZ. Your squash is a beautiful vintage piece. (BTW, I worked at a jewelry store in Albuquerque, New Mexico where we sold authentic Navajo, Zuni, etc. jewelry.)
The south west part of the USA is a very unique and beautiful. My husband and I were there in our RV in 2005 and actually stayed a week Albuquerque,N.M. and travelled to Colorado, Utah, Arizona and of course I bought lots of Navajo, Zuni turquoise. Exceptional craftmanship.
Omg, love your pieces wish I could show you mine! The second time you telling the story about your mom and grampa bracelet and it's heartwarming every time you tell the story! And your squash blossom is by Anna Sheffield and it's worth is $12,500.00! But it's real value has no price tag. God Bless you. I hope it helped you Selena.
There is a small Victorian town on the No. California coast called Ferndale. Every September they hold a city wide yard sale. Lots of antiques there. Closer to time you can check the Chamber of Commerce for the exact dates. It’s always a Fri. Sat. And Sun.
Sounds amazing! I grew up in Eureka:)
The squash blossom turquoise looks like Bisbee Mine ….very high grade!
I love turquoise! My FIL passed a year ago and he had a large ring that none of the kids wanted. My MIL let me have it. I’ll cherish it forever.
Beautiful collection. I love squash blossoms
Looks like a bisbee turquoise with deep blue. On the squash blossom
Great looking collection! I love Navajo and Hopi pieces.
Beautiful collection! Love the cuff bracelet your dad found in the yard. Your squash blossom necklace is amazing. I love the charm of the old patina on sterling jewelry.
Your “staging” of items is so beautiful Selena! So fun to watch you and Laura also when you 2 find the goodies! Thanks for sharing. Getting my oxygen tank ready for the estate sale series! Can’t wait!
I love seeing collections!
Selena you do such a great job! I love your videos and all the stories and history. The rings were so beautiful on your long pretty fingers! Have fun wearing them!
Selena, thanks for sharing your loot, excited for your sale next week! Stay safe and well 👏🎉❤️
I have the white stones with black veining, and it is called white buffalo turquoise.....I bought in Manitou Springs, Colorado.....I love these pieces....
My favorite piece is the necklace displayed with the squash blossom necklace. I remember wanting one as a teenager in the 1970's. Also, love the charm of the bracelet your grandfather unearthed.
Thanks Selena. I like all of them. You have a good selection.
I wish I had a 10th of your style and decorating sense...always a pleasure watching your videos...Laura too....you girls are truly special 😘
Love your jewelry Collection also love the way the flowers look in the background the beautiful roses
You're very lucky, such a beautiful collection I used to wear a ring on every finger but now, with rescuing animals it's not possible. Thank you for sharing some of your collection. Lots of love Liana xx
I love the lady ring. So unique and fun. What a statement piece that is also fun to wear.
Talk me about a jewel collection with an history: I enjoyed every minute of it and especially your mother's bracelet -- surely a piece you'll want to keep forever! The squash blossom necklace is incredibly beautiful and the large cuff too. Well, thank you for another Friday morning starting with such beauty! Danielle 😍
Love your turquoise jewelry as it is my favorite too.
You’ve taught me things I didn’t know about jewels,thank you .You have a beautiful collection Ann
Beautiful ❤❤ jewelry thank u for sharing
Love that botanical turquoise necklace! Beautiful!
I have a chart that has a map of where the old turquoise mines in the southwest are or were located and how you can tell by the colour and inclusions of the turquoise which mine it might have come from. So interesting. Your collection is wonderful!!!
!
Love the 4th one the really old one thats dainty and more green!!So pretty!!
My eye went directly to the art deco/nouveau lamp. I remember the video when you found it!
Fab video Selena. When I was a young teen, me and my best friend were so into costume jewellery and beautiful clothes etc (we still are) and we always used to say " Imagine if we got locked in the theatre wardrobe department for a night!!" Or....one of our favourite vintage shops. Before all the lockdowns in the UK, we were watching your channel together and you were showing some of your favourite clothing in your dressing room and we looked at each other....eyes wide, open mouthed and exclaimed together "Oh my goodness!! Imagine getting locked in Selena's dressing room overnight!!??" Do you have nieces or friends daughters (or sons of course) who would think they were in heaven to be in your dressing room? 🤗🥰🥰🥰
That 1033 bracelet is gorgeous! Love it!!!
Beautiful pieces!!!
You have some amazing pieces!! I am crushing on the squash blossom necklace. I have wanted one for years.
My favorite thing about thrifting jewelry is finding a grubby looking piece. You know it is going to clean up and be an attention getter. I have a ring like that. It has a huge blue jewel in the middle with baguette rhinestones around it. SWOON! I just love it.
Looks like Effie Calavaza squash blossom necklace.
Wow!!! Everything is lovely pieces!!!
They are all so beautiful!!!
Hi. These are gorgeous. Thanks for your amazing channel. Here in New Zealand I have occasionally come across some nice turquoise pieces but nothing like what you have. Love to you and Laura.
You have a beautiful turquoise silver collection. I love your squash blossom necklace!!!!
I love that kind of jewelry myself and found a few of them similar to to those!
😍😍😍😍 perfect theme for an episode! My gosh amazing stuff!!
The squash blossom necklace is beautiful! The other necklace has an Egyptian revival feel and, if it is, it would date from the 1920's. I have a small collection of turquoise/Navajo jewelry that I treasure and love to wear - and always try to add to!
Selena I love all of your turquoise pieces that you have each one is so beautiful thanks for sharing 🥰🦋🌻🐝
LOVE your collection Selena! Absolutely gorgeous! ❤️ A turquoise ring is on my list! 💕
Amazing collection!! I love the variety!
Love your Jewelry Collection! So pretty 🙂
WOWZA! Thank you for sharing! Your knowledge is incredible!
Hello. Love your channel. I recently took an old squash to a local store that’s been here in south Florida for over 30 years. A co worker’s husband passed and he had some beautiful turquoise in his collection. The owner said the squash was Navajo 1960’s 70’s. The beads were as you described. They have a seam. He said they were machine made. Mass produced. This was when turquoise Jewelry was so popular. He said the solid beads are man made. I asked about the term “Old Pawn”? He said the proper term is vintage. Old pawn was when an Indian made a piece for another Indian? Just was interesting to me. Keep up the great videos. Love!! Krista Davis
I was able to buy myself your 1st cuff bracelet in New Zealand. I was thrilled. I'm searching for a squash blossom. Your comment of only retaining the best you can affort, or waiting for that piece, I have taken to heart.
Thank you so much for sharing sis now i start looking for vintage jewelary after watching your vidoes . You are so down to earth, sweet, caring and adorable sis. Take care and be safe. God bless you both, your family and friends. Love you sis ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Beautiful collection!
I take metalsmith classes. I am starting to collect sterling silver turquoise jewelry that I make. My instructor told me that white buffalo is a turquoise the reason that is white or creamy color is because is missing the copper mineral, but is still a turquoise. I will be making a jewelry piece with my white buffalo stones.
love the story about finding the cuff in the dirt
I love the vintage green necklace it’s so delicate
Beautiful collection.
Hey Squash Blossom! Nice video thanks for sharing more of your story xo~Dawn
Gorgeous! Thanks for sharing.
Would love a squash blossom and a cuff like that. Beautiful
You have a lovely jewelry collection Selena! 😍 I really love that thing with the crystal on it, it's gorgeous! I am looking forward to your sale & I spot a beautiful milk glass piece with that pretty pink edge detail. 💕💕💕
Arizona Highways magazine had an entire publican dedicated to the different turquoise mines and how to tell which mine it came from. It also talks about dyed howlite and how to tell it from turquoise...and how to tell fake stones as well. There's a small mine in NV that re-opened about 20 years ago; the turquoise from that mine is mostly greenish and has a lot of matrix (matrix is the stone component as opposed to the gemstone part) Matrix often has minerals such as copper, zinc and silver, occasionally gold.
Wow!!! My husband bought me a squach blossom necklace 2020 x-mas. I searched everywhere. So expensive. I love mine!
Love your collection. Lol I have so much jewelry I could open my own store.
Awesome bracelet. I love that color turquoise. 🦋🦋🦋
Love the ring collection.
Omgoodness, the lady turquoise ring, I want that!
I loved seeing your collection!! Fun video Depends.
I didn’t read the title and thought it was your jewelry sale and saw your first cuff. That is the cuff I have been looking for. I love it
Selena your turquoise jewelry is amazing😊
You have a lovely collection. ❤️
Lovely! 💕
Selena...to showcase special necklaces especially have you thought about
encasing them in hanging shadow boxes {with easy access backing to then be able to wear}?
This is an awesome idea!
Love your collection!
This is amazing for no reason at all I put on my turquoise jewelry this morning .. went on utube and saw you had uploaded your turquoise collection .. our stars must be aligned. Beautiful collection thanks for sharing.
Haha that’s so awesome! So glad you are wearing your beautiful pieces today:)
Ugh, you’re killing me with your jewelry! 😩💗
I love all your jewelry
One of my favs love turquoise! Love the stories of what the pieces mean to you! God bless you,u truly are an angel! I love the videos u really know about the jewelry and explain it very well! My dad would have loved this video he loved turquoise and jewelry just in general! That's were I get it from and same with thrifting😀thank you for sharing❤️
Thank you so much. These pieces are so fun and special to collect :)
I love all of them. Thank you for sharing.
WOW, your turquoise jewelry collection is quite beautiful and unique!! The only ring in your collection that is not turquoise looks like a double terminated clear quartz crystal. I have never seen one in a ring setting like yours before. Quite beautiful!!
Stunning collection thanks
My favorite is one of your favorite, the first cuff you showcase. That’s my must have. I tried to buy one from one of your sales, I believe it was from the recycle life sale. Missed out on it! Darn! I’ll find my piece one day soon. And your really chunky large rings I looooove!
Selena thank you for sharing
I never can find the great things you find!
Beautiful pieces 💞💞💞✨👌👌👌
Beautiful pieces, thanks for sharing..
White Buffalo is not turquoise because it’s not chemically similar because it has no iron in it to give it the blue color but it does have the pyrite veining.
Beautiful jewelry 😍
I enjoyed this very much. Makes me wanna wear my turquoise ring more often. 💍💖😊
You cannot date a Squash Blossom necklace by the beads because there's still people making beads that way just some people know. not as many people as used to be but there are still people making them that way.
Amazing collection
Ваши изделия с бирюзой прекрасны, спасибо!
Love your videos!
I’m 🤤 drooling!
I actually loved the pieces that were not typical blue and green turquoise, especially the white buffalo pieces and that black stone ring is stunning...I bought a turquoise ring from a flea market with allot of patina on it and polished and regretted it because it was not as pretty as how it looked before, but now I know for next time. -Lorie Beesley

Really beautiful video.Thank you enjoyed this so much.Keep safe.Ann from Derry Ireland.💚💚💚
Hey Selena! ❤️ Your friendly florist again...
The etching on your "art nouveau" necklace has a definite Egyptian vibe, which is normal for the nouveau period... It may help you date it. The Egyptian hieroglyphics are full of that botanical design, it's how they would depict lotus flowers. I wish I could post a pic to show you the obvious similarities!
Love how you connect with the things you love... You deserve it! 😍
You are correct. It’s white Buffalo. Love you collection. ❤️
I will be there with bells on Selena! Your turquoise is breathtaking for sure and I can't wait to see what goodies you've sourced will wind up in my collection. xoxo patti
We miss you Patty. Hope you are ok.
😎❤️💄Kathy 😷
Hi Patti! Thank you for telling me about the "vintage bombshell". I enjoy the videos so much. Hope you are well. Post and let us know.

I have been following Selena and you for a long time ... you are two very special ladies.Hope all is well with you.
Thanks Sweetheart! There are some beautiful pieces coming I can totally see you wearing 🥰💕💕
This was so interesting...thank you for sharing.
Gosh u get some good deals‼️❤️😊
Your Squash Blossom necklaces beautiful and the dark part that you're referring to is what's called The Matrix it is the host stone or the mother stone for the turquoise and that Brilliant Blue of turquoise is usually only found from The Bisbee mine which closed before 1980 so it's highly sought after you should look for any type of Mark or stamp on it to prove that it is from The Bisbee mind
