This gentleman, Chester Mahooty, was apparently well known as a character in the Navajo Nation for his extravagant turquoise jewelry. The set he is wearing in the picture weighs about 65 lbs. He was once pictured in a National Geographic article on turquoise.
So do you think this would fit in Colleen's Prestige boxes or would you be constantly polishing it by hand? Full-time job?

Wow.

Chester could balance a cocktail on his bracelet and, if wearing that huge pendant, wouldn't need a lobster bib.

And balance a small child too! Have heard of him but have never seen his picture. Thank you for posting that, what a treat.
Just think of the very small amount of the real deal mined turquoise like that that is around. Stunning.

man has a problem.
Bet he's putting out the wrong karma. somebody will knock him over the head and pawn it.

Guess he never heard that -- sometimes less is more. He made a name for himself with his extravagant jewelry, though. The smile on his face tells me he loved it.

How about this belt buckle?

@Kachina624 The picture of the belt buckle is what I saw after seeing your post and looking him up online. So incredible. Didn't have a chance to look further but he was Zuni and a silversmith, found some of his classic Zuni inlay pieces online. However what he wears looks like Navajo. I know some Zuni & Navajo pieces can borrow looks and styles from each other but his pieces look so much like Navajo. Mystery, will research more tomorrow.
