I am from Colorado and 68 years old. I lived in New Mexico for a number of years. Gallup Farmington Aztec traveled all over the state. I worked for a Native American radio station in Farmington and was introduced to many tribal members and artists. I have a lot of old pawn but my pride and joy are my Tommy Singers, and Frankie Aussie pieces plus many more. I went to the library years ago and have updated it since and printed out Hallmarks makers marks play keeping up with you while shopping is a very important tool. God bless you all. By the way my mother was descendant of jicarilla Apache and Cherokee, and Irish. She looked full-blooded native american. She was beautiful love to you all❤❤❤

The great thing about internet is I can find great content that may be a few years old. Your collection is amazing!!! And I have no doubt it is a lifetime of collecting. To oxidize silver, place a peeled and smashed boiled egg in a baggie. Place silver in bag and mix well. Watch every few minutes to get to level of darkness desired. Rinse off. Cheap and very effective.

I’ve always been attracted to Native American jewelry. Recently found out I am a descendant from Dragging Canoe, had no idea I had Native American in me. Might explain why I guess…haha. In honor of finding this out I just commissioned a cuff from Curtis Pete. I don’t know much about him, but love his work! Thanks for all your great information.

Thank you so much for your educational video and for showing us your great collection. I learned more about this beautiful stone turquoise. I just started my collection so before I buy any new pieces I will use your knowledge.

I’ve always loved turquoise jewelry. Unfortunately the stuff that was passed down to me from my father was taken… so I’m starting from scratch. I have lots of learning to do, this video was fun and informative to watch. Even my wife was interested. Thank you!

Excellent way to clean sterling without damaging or scratching it, is a cleaner called Never Dull . It's located in the stores in the car cleaning section. It's a cotton substance in a can, you just tear off a piece and rub your jewelry & it cleans right up after going over item a few times. Then just wash off in warm soapy water and rub dry with cloth. Will look brand new. Very easy to use.

In 1983 for my 16th birthday i begged my Mom for a turquoise ring i had seen in a shop in our local mall and thankfully i got it! It is a single turquoise rock with a snake that curls around it and his head lays on top with his two little turquoise eyes. It is stamped Effie G and i have no doubt it is a real Effie piece. Sadly some time down the road his head broke off and I've often wondered if i could contact her or someone in her family and have them replace the head of that snake....

I love turquoise and your knowledge is necessary. You have a beautiful collection❤️

[Starskinny]

Great video, I learned the claw in the buckle is a badger claw, cool. I have one much like yours but different. I think the variety is also what makes them so distinctive and interesting

Beautiful treasures.

Thank you for sharing. 🌞

Thank you so much for sharing that information! I almost got "taken" trying to buy turquoise--believe some of it was actually shattuckite--and no I am not rich, so every lil buy takes some saving. Videos like this help out us makers or jewelers trying to use authentic materials.
