@Kachina624 @Wonderful collection that you have, and how lucky you are to have some from your parents!

@Thats Me Indeed! I have a lot of good stuff from parents. Navajo rugs, Indian pottery, Southwestern art, lots of miscellaneous. Thankfully my sister doesn't care for any of it.

@Kachina624 wrote:@rockygems123 Why don't you post some pictures of your jewelry? I bought my Lander Blue stone from an old dealer in Gallup.
My sister has the large turquoise rings, my dad gave me this little one when I was 8 - 10 yrs old and wore it constantly into adulthood. We also had Navajo rugs, peace pipes, stone carved arrowheads mounted, all from the 1930's or prior. The other pics are modern, they are all Navajo, Orville Tsinnie, Nelson Morton, Clem Nalwood except for the Hopi necklace. The turquoise panel necklace is mid-century Frank Patania Thunderbird Shop, anglo but well respected out of Santa Fe. Thank you again for the Lander Blue education, absolutely stunning and will keep an eye out for it.

I've noticed during Jewelry day shows, turquoise no longer gets its own time slots. It's really difficult to find beautiful pieces...and in quantity.
I love my pieces in rings and my bangles so I can admire them. There's nothing like turquoise to pop a pair of jeans and a white tee or blouse!
I so agree! Turquoise with jeans / white tee or blouse, wowie so gorgeous. Bracelets and rings are my favorites too, And lots of them lol.

@rockygems123 Thanks for posting your pieces. You have an interesting collection, most are rather non-traditional. I actually prefer the contemporary designs and especially like your necklaces. Is that a stone on the cuff or polished silver? Can't tell.

Good question as to where he worked. It was in the 1930's, I'll have to ask my sister if she knows. I'd love to find out and will let you know if I do!
How is life in the White Mtns of AZ? Is that near Pinetop? There was a log cabin show that highlighted Pinetop and it looked wonderful.

@rockygems123 : if your Dad worked at a trading post in Gallup in the 1930s, I wonder if it was Richardson's. They are a real trading post and pre date that period. About 5 years ago we were in there ( not for first time) and the owner was sitting on a stool, watching his business; he was 100 ( read he has since passed). Their rug room ( and everything else) is amazing; we met a customer and her decorator, who had been in there for several days!
