Show me your turquoise jewelry!

@Autumn in New England
I finally stopped into Gertrude Zachary, and I took some photos.
This giant Royston brooch was stunning!
The whole thing was about 4" in diameter.

Here are a few more assorted beauties.IMG_20220412_142322144.jpg

And this one looks like the Cloud Mountain necklace that you showed previously!
Surely by the same artist!

Help @Autumn in New England !!!
This ring is $110, and I need to know if it is Kingman! I might have to grab it today!

Hi!! My initial impression is that it's definitely natural turquoise. I cannot say definitively whether or not this is kingman, but the first thing I thought was "nacozari." Whatever the case, she sure is perdy!!

Not my goodies, but here are some examples.

Ok, thanks for your opinion. I'm thinking about it!
I do like it, and it's huge!

Some kingman (and other varieties) you see and immediately recognize. Other times, a particular stone doesn't necessarily speak to you in terms of mine. In any event, this is a giant boulder of yummy goodness... let me know if you grab it!

I believe you are correct, by identifying this as Mexican turquoise. I never doubted you!
I've been doing some researching, and it really looks like White Water turquoise from Cananea, Sonora.
You are my Turquoise Guru!!

Yes, yes, totally! It really does look Mexican, and could definitely be white water as well. The only thing that made me doubt nacozari is that it tends to be bluer. White water leans more blue-green in general. So I think you're spot on! :kiss2:

So the question is......do I want it?
For $100 I could buy a little 5 ct. piece of Bisbee. Or this big knuckle buster!
Hmmmmm....

These are almost impossibly beautiful! What a privilege to admire and even handle such art.
This one has been with me for a long time: Justin Morris Bisbee turquoise ring. The stone is meditative for me. JustinMooreBisbeeTurquoiseRing1.jpg
 
I've been admiring the turquoise eternity bands also-
I really like the ones with a diamond with the turquoise. I've seen a regular thickness and a thin band in this style.

@Paisley2628
Oh! This is really pretty. Did u get it?
 
I added this little band, recently, to stack for the summer.216C2EB2-D02D-452C-95B1-824672C16EE7.jpeg

Wow! I've never seen such delicate stones!
It's gorgeous!

Thank you! They are little cabs. It is quite pretty, but we'll see how it holds up to wear. Hopefully, the fact that I'm wearing it on my index finger will offer some protection.
 
Whoa it's even more impressive than I thought, @stracci2000!! :mrgreen2: I'm glad you grabbed it! I have a feeling you and I would be positively dangerous at Indian Market... :shhh:

I'm glad I bought it, too! Bigger is better, right?
The stone is fascinating, and there's a bit of pyrite in it.
Yes, we would be dangerous at Indian market. We could get Indian tacos for lunch at the market, that would be so much fun!

And blue corn pancakes for breakfast at Tia Sophia's!

Yep... go big or go home, my friend. Enjoy it!! :kiss2:
 
Ive been wearing a kinda fun touristy strand i think mum's pen friend gave her
i don't ever remenber mum wearing it and my sister didn't want it
Not sure if its ever been worn before
the clasp needs a polish

i thought it would be so heavy, necklace or rather beads used to give me a headache
And it felt heavy for 20 seconds then fat neck just did its job and ive had it on for 3 days
