Featured Todays mostly turquoise jewelry

I thought I would share my finds today. I was very excited when I found all of this at a sale today. It wasn’t super cheap, but it was affordable for me. Lately estate turquoise in my area has been too pricey, so I was happy to get a couple of more pieces for my collection. There are a couple of Mexico pieces (Taxco bracelet, and rectangular ring), but for the most part I think it is probably Native American. All the pieces are unmarked, except for the Mexico pieces.

 

Holy Turquoise Batman! You did good

 

nice selection..

 

Fabulous! If that much was available at a local sale where I lived, prices would have been sky high. Glad you didn't hold back!

 

Nice haul!

The stone-free sterling bracelet looks like Industrial Art Deco design. Is that the Mexican one? Looks like really nice quality.

 

Thanks. It has been pricy around here lately. I drove a ways to get to this sale. But it paid off in the end.

 

Yes. It is marked sterling taxco mexico in a circular pattern, with 925 in the center of those words. It is very nice, and heavy.

 

If there's no eagle or "bell" elsewhere that could be a pre-WWII mark, in which case you really made out!

 

The malachite piece looks like it was made by a hobbyist/student.Excess solder in a number of places and poor bezel setting.

 

I rubbed it a bit with a sunshine cloth. I think it was easier to see the mark while it had more tarnish. But here it is.

 

Nice finds!
The big shadowbox turquoise ring is yummy!

 

Great finds, cfh, especially love the chunk of turquoise on the bracelet.
And I have never seen a Zuni inlay turtle ring before, very sweet.

 

That is my favorite for sure!

 

Love that cuff. The malachite setting is the same as a rather old turquoise ring I own.

 

Odd that they didn't sign it with their maker's mark. It's too nice to be unsigned. No idea how old it really is.

 

I have found a couple just like it attributed to J Flores. Here is one on ebay just like it. But it has a signiture.

 

This design was probably made by several makers. The way it goes in Mexico (and other countries) is, someone designs a nice piece of jewellery, it sells, and others copy it. Without a maker's mark, you won't know who made yours.

 

I was unaware of that. But, good to know! I find quite a bit of Taxco and Mexico jewelry.
