    Picked up these 2 necklaces in an auction lot of sterling jewelry

    The sterling is in Native American style and are both marked RC which is possibly Rose Castillo (Navajo)

    but the large unidentified cabochons are not typical for NA. They both have a mystifying translucence, but I do not think they are natural stones.

    thoughts?

    (please ignore the square reflections of my photo booth lights)

    Thanks for saying that, I wasn't seeing anything NA either but hesitated to stick my neck out because I've been wrong before. :shy:
    Nevertheless, the blue one is pretty!

    I am not seeing Native American style either, and they are very different from Rose (Draper) Castillo's work. Her mark is RC, not R C. Her later mark is RD.
