Your rings are stunning!  Did you see the pic I posted of the close-up of the cuff bracelet with large turquoise stones.  Any idea which turquoise they may be?

AW offer excellent selection of jewelry. 

I found it very hard to find anything in Arizona. We were driving through, stopping at few sales stops. I found variscite piece, very lovely earrings. I found another ring, not on a picture, which I love. In Sedona we could not find anything in the big mall. Smaller places have more unique pieces.

I wanted squash blossom earrings of particular design, and I could not find them. I keep admiring it on one person, but she got it in Texas area. It might be more specific there.

@rockygems123    I have no idea what the source of that stone might be as it could be several places.  The cuff to which I was referring is the one with the rectangle of silver, no stone.  The more I look at that bracelet, the more I like it.  It could pass for a non-Southwest design.  I'd wear it every day.

@alice87    I wondered if it could be Dry Creek although it has a greenish tinge in the photo which could be the light.  Dry Creek is one of my favorites and I have one too.  In this photo, it's the pinkie finger ring.

@gulf coast girl   You must make it a point to visit the Great Southwest sometime.  It's like a whole different world.  There are many places online where you can buy authentic Indian-made jewelry.  All 3 of my recently purchased pieces I bought online from a dealer in California.

there is a youtube video about this stone. there is a mine, but its referred to as a hat mine. because it can be covered by a hat. It was sold in1974 by two sisters who found the turquoise and claimed it.

@alice87 :  Good Native pieces are more difficult in AZ than in N.M.  I've found beautiful pieces at Garlands in Sedona ( they are famous and online), in Kingman and several stores in Scottsdale.  The best thing is drive just over stateline to Richardson's in Gallup ( huge trading post that's been around since 1919). The Heard Museum in Phoenix has an amazing gift shop with designer pieces from under $100 to $15000; they have an online store.

The non stone cuff is Clem Nalwood Navajo.  There are some of his pieces on Ebay now but all with stones; I'll keep a look out for a plain one.
