Sharke, post #35 - red coral - huge cab!!! Wonderful. Your rhodo bracelet is to die for. Where did the turquoise come from? I am drooling.

Post #26 - I totally lost it. Wowee! That sunburst pattern cuff with all the different stones? Another channel sold some of those but I'm hesitating to think that beauty came from them.

Post #29 - The turq in the bracelet looks like sleeping beauty as well as in #31.

Post#27 - hands down my favorite of your turquoise, also I love the design of the cuff. Where did you find that. (It's of course up to you to share this info. I understand if you don't.) Love all the other narrower cuffs as well. Beautiful all of them.

Thank you for the eye candy. Haca

Thank you, Haca. The larimar opens up and just latches on the front. Husband always griping if he has to help me with all my 'junk',so, that was a big selling point. LOL

all that stuff is on top of my jewelry box LOL yep, I keep a pile of Q receipts LOL

The one on the left is a Jay King piece I'm ashamed to say I forgot what it is when I looked it up it said another name for it is 'soapstone'. I got a thing for pink LOL one on the right is coral maybe I can take a better pic of it, I got a cheap camera hahahhah

I bought the Larimar online from a place that specialized in it. At the time I couldn't find any out in the market place, this place I checked out and it was solid. They tell you what U should look for, the sky blue /white cloud look, etc. Just have the one piece. I like silver tribe goods too, where I got all the rhodo stuff. I started off with the one big chunk, then, later when I saw the 3 mega stones I sprung for that too. The red ring is a Studio Barse piece and I think the turq ring is a Barse too. Sleeping bty pendant is from Shop HQ or that other online store, not HSN, NBC something like that. long line bracelet is yet another rhodo piece.

Most expensive piece is probably the multi stone piece that thing has every stone under the sun in it. Then the mega size rhodo 3 chunk pieces from silver tribe would come in 2nd.

Go BIG or go home hahhahahaha

post 27 I got at a Amarillo,Tx (where I live) show he said it was Kingman mine.

the multi stone, sunburst is from Cherokee Trading Post in OK. That was a investment piece. no telling what it would be nowdays. Came oxidized like that, not crazy about that, but, it's a big deal nowdays , so, guess I'm on trend. LOL I usually just buy what I like and don't worry about if it's from here or there as long as it's genuine and I like it I go for it.

Ask, all U want , if I can remember, I'm glad to share with like minded people. Oh girl I forgot one ! I got a big ol' piece of lapis that is huge I never wear it it's just to, too. Let me go take a pic of that. It's not turq, but, it's lapis. If you like chunky you will drop dead can't believe I forgot that one. Give me a few minutes here. LOL

Sharke, I woke up with my husband standing over me with smelling salts, lol. Oh Yeah!!! Not only is it bold, but the color is delectable. Outstanding with the "sparkles" like a night sky. Yes, I know it's pyrite but that's what makes it so special. I actually don't care about all uniform blue color. Guess it depends on the design. Here the stone speaks for sure.

Now when you wear this (I picture in white top, blue jeans) you do not need any other jewelry. That should speak for itself. I imagine it would be heavy?

yeah, it's weighty, but, people notice it. My sister who has no class (LOL) says "looks like flintstone jewelry", after I kick the bucket bet she will run to the ol' jewelry box, though. LOL

here's another pic of the coral piece, coral should be more red, all my stuff is kept in dark back room so it shouldn't had faded, but, the red in the Barse ring is different from the cuff thought it was coral, maybe there's different shades of coral. LOL Glad your enjoying my collection I enjoy sharing it !

Yep, I checked online all different kinds of shades of coral, 'sponge' coral, etc. that red, red Barse piece might be dyed redder, too. They can do all kinds of stuff today. Jay King was on today over on HSN just came in on the last half of the show. His 'Windy Mtn" stuff was cool.
