  1. Thanks Joe. I certainly will should I decide to start smithing again. A HM is a must this time. Best of luck.
  2. Thanks Joe! I do still have all my tools except the casting equipment and I still have a ton of cabachons. I have produced a few pieces after I wound down but haven’t done anything in 15 years. I may have to revisit that part of my life again as this thread has piqued my interest. Interesting to me, on the early piece I didn’t stamp it Sterling.
  3. Revisiting this thread, I just thought I would show some silversmithing I did when I was in my 20’s. This is one of my earliest pieces. A shadow box with a heavy gauge silver and nice turquoise cab. It’s been so many years ago I don’t remember the mine it came from but it, along with other stones, I bought from two miners in Sholow AZ.
  4. I was a working Silversmith for two decades and repaired a lot of silver and turquoise jewelry for the local shops as well as produced several hundred pieces of hand wrought and cast items. The turquoise looks like a low quality Bisbee Mine cabachon. The crack in the cab takes the value down somewhat as condition is everything. The silver bracelet is of medium quality and I don’t remember seeing Navajo bracelets stamped 925 very often in the 1970/80’s. Usually it was stamped Sterling. The Turquoise stone looks to be stabilized so if in fact it is that will give you an idea of its age. To me I’d say late 1980’s early 1990’s.
