<p>[QUOTE="reader, post: 9567437, member: 255"]I know some will give opinions on turquoise attribution but I come from the school that unless one is there where the stone was mined or a known artist usually used a specific mine or there’s written documentation, attribution is just hearsay. Of my entire collection I’d only assign a mine to one belt buckle as I know the smith mined Cerrillos and the piece is screamingly green. Any mine can have multiple veins of varying color and matrix.</p><p><br /></p><p>Meanwhile I think your bracelet is great- modernist, Navajo, sterling and turquoise-that’s are all you need if selling. Dating IMO is such a slippery slope. I don’t see how that piece could be 50s or FH but even if it is, using the other keywords will bring you buyers while being completely straight.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
