[QUOTE="stracci, post: 9791357, member: 13814"]I just wanted to share these two cuff bracelets I recently acquired. I found them in a small antique mall in a rural area of New Mexico. I could not decide which one I liked better, so I bought them both. This first one is marked HL, possibly Helen Long, Navajo. She was active in the 1970s. The patina is perfect. I'm not sure if it's sand cast or tufa cast. I don't know the origin of the turquoise. [ATTACH=full]485161[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]485162[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]485163[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]485164[/ATTACH] This next bracelet is much newer, and it is really a work of art. The tag said it was Kingman turquoise. I believe this one might be tufa cast, because it is so crisp and defined. It is stamped with a "P" inside, for Tiffani Par, according to the tag. I cannot find any info about her anywhere. [ATTACH=full]485165[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]485166[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]485168[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]485167[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]485170[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
