25 lbs of Southwestern Jewelry! Part 2. Jewelry Unboxing and… FINALLY an official INTRODUCTION!!!

[@Christabeth-hw4ib]

The black piece with the ornate magnetic clasp has one magnet that has come unglued. That's all. Pry the magnets apart, and then glue the proper side back into the clasp. Voila! 😊

[@CaliMomCollects]

Thank you! I did not notice that. My eyes aren’t the best😁

[@CommonSense-iu6wz]

There are a lot of sterling Coldwater Creek pieces 😊

@37:45 It looks like its part of an authentic native wear worn during ceremonial dance looks like it says Naomi.

[@ellasonierrobichaud6492]

Just wow

[@loridietrich2369]

That first one is a show stopper! I love natural stones as well especially in the ambers and cognac colors.

[@CaliMomCollects]

Yes I agree! Thank you Lori😊

[@maxie2451]

It doesn’t need a new clasp. The other half of the magnet needs to be glued. Take another look and you’ll see the 2 magnets.

[@francegilbert6364]

Yes!

It's panacea from the Greek; pan-a-see-a. It kinda means a universal soothing balm, antidote or treatment. "It's good for whatever ails 'ya".

Hi Shelley! Thank you 😊💗

[@BlessedBaubles]

Angela, I already told you via email but it bears repeating in your comments. You are truly lovely. It’s so great to be able to put a face to a lovely voice, and personality. Thanks for saying hi. I hope you do more often.

[@CaliMomCollects]

[@annajamieson4969]

Hello. Nice to meet you. I just subscribed. Happy to watch your channel and learn.

[@CaliMomCollects]

Hello! Welcome, so happy to have you here😊💗

[@maxie2451]

The turquoise with the black is dyed Magnesite. Dyed Magnesite is usually chunkier with black matrix…. Magnesite is heavier than Howlite…

[@donnaspahr5585]

Magnesite looks much more like turquoise too imo. There are so many varieties of turquoise and some resemble magnesite.

[@KristyLe-rs9bz]

Great collection!

[@CaliMomCollects]

Thank you!😊

[@maxie2451]

Bolo inlay marked “sterling T” Maker is Florence Tabe Navajo…

[@CaliMomCollects]

Thank you for the info!

[@Carolyn-x1u]

[@cassandrapua5970]

Aloha Angela nice to see you😊❤

Not everything is Dyed Howlite. The stones with the black matrix is Dyed Magnesite. The piece signed Bell is from Bell Trading Post.

[@BlessedBaubles]

I’m sure you mean this in kindness but perhaps rewording can help. It’s not easy to put oneself out there on video and call out turquoise, Howlite, even magnesite from so many pieces, from so many places, and so many time periods. If you have some helpful advice, I think we’d all like to hear it. I think magnesite has brown matrix. And Howlite has grey matrix. Would love to hear your source and opinion.

[@maxie2451]

There is nothing wrong with what I wrote I gave information I thought was helpful. I’ve been studying turquoise for quite awhile. I met with some Native American designers to learn about the different types of turquoise. I was taught how to recognize turquoise, dyed howlite and dyed magnesite. I had hoped giving some hints at what she was looking at would help when she was describing it. If you deemed it not “kind” that’s your problem. Howlite in its natural state does have a somewhat grey matrix, but when dyed can appear slightly yellow. I have a lot of turquoise I have collected over the years…

[@VintageFLA]

@@maxie2451 There was nothing wrong with your response and you have provided very good comments and educational info for this video. The other person was reading tone into it that wasn’t there at all. Her issue, not yours.

[@Narbyful]

You are so pretty! Hi!

[@CaliMomCollects]

You are so sweet! Thank you so much😊💗

[@Narbyful]

@@CaliMomCollects LOL You are welcome. It's wonderful to put a specific smile to your voice.

[@lindaposta939]

MIT USA may mean made in the USA

[@CorinneTokar]

I think the piece that looks like a steer ( bolo ? ) says N American. Native American?

[@helensmith2839]

Your so beautiful Angela just like I knew you would be.

[@CaliMomCollects]

Helen you are so sweet! Thank you so much!😊💗

[@beasamson4246]

you missed a mark on 28;39

[@CaliMomCollects]

I’ll have to go back and check. Thank you.

[@VintageFLA]

The piece in the middle with the sterling pendant and crystals and other stones to me is something an individual put together from parts. In my opinion these elements don’t work very well together as a design, even if the parts themselves are good. I run across this a lot with homemade jewelry, sometimes the design is great, but oftentimes it’s clumsy and forced. This is not a criticism on you, just on what I’ve personally seen a lot of when collecting out in the wild.
