Turquoise/Native American jewelry

Just bought some watch tips:

I've been drooling over the watch cuffs for years, but always felt they are too big/ chunky for my tiny wrists. These might just be the "gateway" item.
Anyone have a suggestion for a good style watch to wear with these?

I shared these in another thread and Bob Hufford suggested I share them in this thread, as well. My wife and I moved to Albuquerque a few weeks ago, and I've found some fantastic rings already. Picked up this sterling silver turquoise and coral ring made by Navajo jewelry artist Larry Spencer an antique shop here in Albuquerque Saturday before last. I've had the other turquoise ring for a couple of years. Picked it up in San Antonio.

Another new-to-me ring addition that found me yesterday. Turquoise and sterling silver by Navajo jewelry artist Ray Jack.

My wife and I drove over to Gallup, NM yesterday to check out the shops. I put an amazing old Sleeping Beauty turquoise cuff bracelet on layaway. I say old cuff, because it's not stamped at all, and from what I've read and been told by Native artists, they started stamping their work in the mid to late '70s. This bracelet has some serious weight to it, and the stones wrap all the way down both sides to the opening. I also picked up my first bolo, a beautiful coral and turquoise one that was made by Navajo artist Irvin Chee.

Great pieces! Is the Naja cast?

Somehow, I don't think I've shared this cuff. Bought it a couple years ago in a San Antonio antique shop. Lots of Native American artisans here in Albuquerque, Gallup, and Santa Fe have complimented me on it. Usually it's something like, "That's a great old piece!"
