Featured Silver & Turquoise Pendant & Earrings, Dishta-Style?

That is fine for a private note. If you want to sell them, at this stage the only thing you can say for sure is Southwestern, and you can add 'Dishta style' for the earrings.

This just crossed my mind: For the pendant, see if you can find Sikyatki Rainbird designs, or just Sikyatki bird designs. Some of those are mirrored.
Sikyatki is an ancient Hopi village. Southwestern jewellery, native and non-native, is often inspired by archeology.
Here are some Sikyatki Revival bowls by Nampeyo (1860-1942), the Hopi initiator of the Revival, the mirrored stylized birds are facing outward, like yours:

 

I know Kolowisi but did not know about the water bird. It does not seem to have found its way into the carvers' repertoire, although they do other birds. This is another of Lynn's, full necklace, which seller still describes as a squash blossom necklace, despite knowing they are birds. Are they correct in using that term for this necklace?

Kolowisi is Zuni, the peyote bird is from the southeast.
The peyote cult came from Mexico and became popular with the Comanche in Texas. From there it spread to the southeast and to some Plains and Great Lakes tribes. Later it came to the Navajo, and there are adherents in other tribes as well.

I wouldn't call it a squash blossom necklace, since there is not a squash blossom in sight. The central pendant is shaped like a naja, which you usually see on a squash blossom necklace. Which explains the mirrored peyote bird on the first pendant, it is also a naja.

 

I am getting strictly pottery, although the mirrored birds looking back are a nice fit, as is the connection with rain, which was my first gestalt of the pendant.

Not pasting in the photo because it is very large. Here are mirrored non-water bird birds: https://www.shiprocksantafe.com/items/38311

Yes, probably will. Would probably never get around to wearing it, even though I like the pendant very much. I don't often think to wear the other turquoise pendant & earrings I have & sold a pair of Phyllis Laate chandelier earrings for same reason.

See I would need to be careful in how I applied 'Dishta-style' in a description. I meant it in the way I keep seeing it, as virtually synonymous with 'flush channel set' for the turquoise. Yes, only the earrings are at all Dishta-style in design. All jewellery I see with flush set stones is described as Zuni, but know enough not to assume this is correct in every instance.

The pendant itself certainly looks like a mixed marriage: turquoise set Zuni-style; silver part is more Hopi style.

 

The pendant is my favourite too.

Different from the usual Hopi overlay, although it is overlay, it is not the specific Hopi technique. The Hopi, and collectors, are very particular about that.

 

Work the Zuni make for tourists & collectors does not stick to their own traditional power animals. You never know what might turn up. I have a very nice hammerhead shark.

 

These are described, again, rightly or wrongly, as being Zuni work using Hopi imagery.

 

Not cast then? If you look closely among the tail feathers, particularly the bird on the right, there are little granules of metal I took to be casting imperfections.

 

Most tribes borrow from each other, it happens all over the world, that is a natural human thing.
Religions don't borrow that much from each other, usually only in the beginning, from related religions. That is why I made the distinction between the origins of Kolowisi and the peyote bird. The peyote bird, a strong religious symbol which originated in the wetlands of the southeast, is religious imagery that is not usually seen in Zuni work. Not just because it is not Zuni, but it belongs to a specific religious group. Another reason could be that non-peyotists usually don't want to associated with the peyote cults.

I thought the granules were grime from having been in the supermarket sack with the other 'stuff'. But you've got it in your hand, you can see it better than I can.

 

I'm at the boyfriend's right now, Will see if those bits are easily dislodged when back home, but they seem to be oxidized with the rest of that part.
