Featured More Torquoise

Two more pieces. Has hallmark I don’t recognize(that’s not that hard though). Look either Native American or Mexican.

 

The eagle mark (seems to appear on all the examples) was :retired: in 1979, so these earrings date from before then.

yeppers - that's the second eagle mark, so Mexican for sure. I'd bet real money those earrings were originally screwbacks. Those wires are replacements for certain; they may not even be silver.

 

México as above. Late 1960s/early 1970s.

Usually, when something says 'xico', it means Mexico. Just saying.
The wires look silver to me. Sweet earrings.

 

Pretty! Nothing more to add-late to the party other than you keep posting Torquoise and I’m only familiar with the spelling as Turquoise so if you’re selling online remember to double check.

 

I bought a lot of turquoise jewellery dirt cheap from a seller who kept listing it as torquis. He also sold plated as sterling, so I had no qualms about bidding on some nice torquis.

 

I have a couple pieces of same -- a circle pin and bracelet. Always thought a pretty design. But fragile.

OK @Any Jewelry you made me look...only 1 item under Torquis but 300+ under Torquoise - and I bought one! I also saved the search for later perusal

 

Yay! Will you show us when you get it?

 

Sure, it was a small lot of 99% junk, but there is one silver torquoise ring...

 

Search term 'torques' is also worth a try.

 

Or turquiose too!

 

Absolutely, but I didn't want to get too turquiose.

 

I have a pinkie ring that's close or the same thing. The design was everywhere for a while.

 

Oh my! That for 2,098 hits!!!!!!

 

Turquiose it is!
