Lots of lovely pieces ! Another tip for Native American jewelry is that they don’t make open back jewelry 🤓

Beautiful Collection! Back in the 70s, I had a bracelet - sterling with turquoise from Mexico. Not sure what happened, but somehow it got wet - I don't remember if it was a shower, swimming or what ... but the stones became porous and pocked - like pumice. I thought maybe it was fake - but wondered; it was expensive and the silver was beautiful. But I shied away from turquoise for decades. Slowly building a collection of both real and faux (I love the look of both). Thanks for sharing.

that happened to me once with a strand of beads- they weren't turquoise though, I was swimming and the beads dissolved!

What a beautiful collection that you have. That's for sharing it with us. I love the gold hand for your rings it's so pretty. I really enjoy all your videos. 😘

Sleeping beauty was used a lot in the trade post jewelry in the 60’s & 70’s . It was also used by fine jewelers because it’s the only turquoise that you can find pieces with no veins or webbing . It was also a very prolific mine for decades !

I have a couple of composite turquoise, which is genuine turquoise, but at the same time not really. It’s powdered genuine turquoise mixed with resin or another clear bonding agent, which is easier to work with and can be quite gorgeous. I believe your oval pendant might be composite. Your collection is stunning! ❤️

The spider web? Is not composite I’ve seen those. I bought one once and promptly returned it.

Great Vid!❤️

Hi Shirley

I recently found a broken turquoise bracelet in a bag it looks really old and the stones are green someone really loved it because you can see previous repair on the back how old do you think the stone would have to be when it starts to turn green...just wondering because the older pieces just look so more interesting

I guess they are doing the fake because the real ones are hard to find.
