Much turquoise jewelry is just too big and clunky for me to wear comfortably so I love seeing pieces like the egg. I don't wear yellow gold either, either it's white metals (WG, silver or platinum) or rose gold.
It’s such a lovely piece! Such great motion around the egg with the gold work. My guess is that it is probably Amazonite, which is a variety of Feldspar along with moonstone, labradorite etc. really beautiful stone, which can get confused with turquoise. My grandmother passed on a ring to me which she thought was turquoise but it is in fact Amazonite!
Bad photo of my turquoise egg pendant. Though I'm looking at it and thinking maybe not turquoise?!

I agree with you re the clean settings, too. I'm a smaller person and only wear a 5 1/4 size ring. I don't like feeling overwhelmed by my jewelry, so much of the Native turquoise jewelry is just too big and chunky for me!
Those are fabulous! Absolutely love them.
These were a mother’s day gift, thanks to a tax return. From Jewels by Grace.
That is amazing @stracci! That is an honor to be accepted. I just love that show so much. The festivities and the art are wonderful. I hear that early at the El Dorado hotel is some great, rare, gem quality American turquoise.I had the awesome opportunity to model some fabulous turquoise jewelry today.
A dear friend if ours is a wonderful jeweler from Santo Domingo Pueblo here in New Mexico., Rodney Coriz.
He was accepted into the Indian Market in Santa Fe next weekend. This is a great Native American arts show, that is a very big deal. It is considered a huge honor to be accepted into this show. This is his 3rd time there.
The first necklace is Mediterranean red coral and sterling.
This next piece is a long chain with Corico Lake and Sleeping Beauty turquoise.
The ring is so amazing! It is Candelaria turquoise from Nevada.
We are going to head up there on Saturday for the show. Our friend is such a great guy. I am hopeful that he does well!
I’m definitely getting there this weekend. I’d like to check out a film at the Indian arts museum, check the turquoise at the El Dorado, and look at all the stuff. It’s the time of year to wear all my Native American jewelry!
We will take the Rail Runner, so I don't have to worry about parking. You know how crazy parking is near the Plaza! Our friend is in booth #211, so if you pass by, take a look!
Will do! Thanks! Parking is nuts so I’m just going to Take a nice long walk lol!
We had a great time at the Indian Market today!
You look amazing! What a fab market this really is! I was impressed by many artists, and couldn’t see everything because of an engagement after a film., BUT I’ll be going tomorrow again. Will be sure to check him out, @stracci! Btw, there were wonderful vendors in the El Dorado, including a great Persian turquoise dealer who was just so nice.We had a great time at the Indian Market today!
Here is a photo of me and my good friend Rodney Coriz, whose jewelry I modeled last week. He sold the red coral piece early in the show.
Yes, we went into the El Dorado, where I saw a bracelet that I was crazy about! But, alas, I just spent money on another piece last week, so I resisted. Rodney is on Palace St. Booth 211. Tell him "Debra" sent you!
Will do. What was the bracelet like? I saw a gorgeous Persian turquoise necklace at a great price for what it was, but I’m trying to stay focused on a lavender jade ring. I also saw 2 wonderful vintage Zuni cuffs which I loved, but resisted. Have you been to the store ‘Rainbow Man’? They have wonderful things year round.
The bracelet was a cuff, with orange spiny oyster and mother of pearl inlay.
If anyone has any projects in mind that needs hunks of turquoise, these pieces were in my gem haul. Weight is 96 grams or 480 carats worth. Or even a loved PS designer who works with turquoise as these are of no use to me.
wow - some awsome piecesI had the awesome opportunity to model some fabulous turquoise jewelry today.
