I love jewelry! Just can’t get enough and have been searching for a large turquoise and silver cuff bracelet for years that would fit my skinny wrist. These are traditionally made by the Navajo.
Found this beauty at Jacob Lake with the pawn ticket. Can’t be sure where the turquoise was mined. Could be Kingman or Sleeping Beauty according to the store owner who took it in on trade. Read about old pawn here.
Berta and I went to a couple yard sales in Congress and there’s a sort-of flea market set up next to the Trading Post. I only spent $1 on a pair of old clip on earrings made in Austria.
Cut glass, about the size of a dime
Now that I’m older and a little bit gray,
I will wear sequins any ole day.
Other sparkles I do dare,
Wearing rhinestones in my hair.
Most days I simply bedeck,
With something special for my neck;
A bracelet and a ring or two,
And matching earrings will do.
When I’m feeling really bold,
I pick out the choicest gold.
