A wonderful set: necklace, ring, bracelet and earrings (they can easily be changed to posts or wires) set with natural high grade Morenci turquoise set in chiseled and filed bezels by Kee Joe Benally. The ribbon solidly dates the set and the judges are noteworthy: Anita Martinez (daughter-in -law of Maria Martinez) and Al Packard. Hard to beat this kind of provenance. $6000. (TUCSON)
Signed by the same two judges, this necklace and bracelet are set with natural turquoise from the Blue Gem Mine. $6500. (SANTA FE)
