This extraordinary, relatively light in weight, and exquisitely styled matched set of 14K filigree earrings (WJF357) is from Panama, believed to be of Spanish origin dating into the 19th century. The small ‘pearls’ are not real, but small glass beads originally covered with a nacre-like coating, a fair portion of which, all but unnoticeable, has now worn off. Measuring 1 7/8” across (5cm), and 2 3/16” (5.5cm) from the top of the loop to the bottom of the earring, this elegant set, with subtle bu ...click for details

This superb Native American made, relatively heavy silver cuff (BB87) with wonderfully matched, deeper blue turquoise oval and round stones and silver shot is, as you should now guess, from the estate of Denver’s late Billy Branch. Doubly stamped on its inner surface with the notation ‘sterling’ and commented to in Billy’s notes as being a ‘pawn’ piece, the bracelet (believed to be mid-20th century in age) is in excellent condition and most wearable with today’s popular styling. Measuring just s ...click for details

With almost every newly listed item from the late Billy Branch’s collection of Native American Indian jewelry, any viewer will, as with this one (BB82), be frequently impressed with the beauty and quality of his selections. This truly magnificent example of the Zuni needlepoint style is simply stamped ‘sterling’ on one of its three supporting framework bars. In used but overall very good condition (I count seven cracked and/or lightly chipped turquoise cabs, all of which are securely held), and ...click for details

The ring is antique but the lapis lazuli cabochon is a recent replacement. Though worn, and with one of its side floral elements missing, this old horse (MAP109) still wears well and looks surprisingly good. The nice quality of the Afghan lapis contributes heavily to its appeal. Not one that would normally be considered for dress-up occasions, but a fun and inexpensive accessory that is sure to solicit comments and at least a modicum of admiration (and the intrigue that could be developed with j ...click for details
