Oh man !
How'd I miss this thread ? Excellent idea.
This was a quick photo; maybe I can come up with something better but . . .
Cuff bracelet purchased in Manitou Springs, CO (when I lived there in the early '80s).
Ring by Norbert Peshlakai (Navaho; pronounced with a "B" like Beshlakai) purchased in Sante Fe, NM in the late '90s. I dig his work.

That's a really cool treasure trove. The folding ruler and the brass toothpick are my favorites!

That's a beautiful tropical blue turquoise! I love how turquoise can have so many different colors, but, still, you know it's turquoise.

Great thread Andrew traumkommode traumkommode cause me to opened the safe. Grandfather Caldwell's (WWI vet) cufflinks with their original box, purchased by my grandmother for their wedding in 1921, $12.50 was a LOT of money 97 years ago. She worked as an accountant and proudly claimed to be the highest paid woman in town at one point. Never saw my grandmother without her little onyx pinky ring pictured on the right, it holds a piece of her soul. Her daddy was killed felling a tree when her momma was pregnant with her little sister. Great Grandma then raised six kids by herself out in the country by Appleton City MO in the late 1800s, they went door to door selling homemade pies / bakery for money. The spark of genius in my family comes from her. She was so talented … she could draw, whistle like several birds, pies from scratch that Betty Crocker would envy, was a card shark, and I can still hear her say "Johnny, you're the only little boy I've ever had!" True, my mom was an only child ... very few people get to call me Johnny.
