    I think I hit the jackpot today, but I want to be absolutely sure, so I came here. The issue is that there is a T. Singer tiny hang tag. I couldn't find it among his marks. The marks I was looking at were for solid silver pieces though and not bead necklaces. Beside the tag, it has these things going for it:
    1. Sunrise Sterling Mark on both cone shaped end pieces
    2. Signature barrel beads in gold color
    3. Turquoise flat beads broken up with silver barrel beads, as well as a variety of semiprecious stone beads.
    It is an enormous 28 inches in length, so I had a hard time showing it.

    It was laying there when they opened up the shop for another event (not focused on jewelry) and I grabbed it up without looking at it, so I could see other stuff. It was only when I got it home and started my research with "I Sinder" that I tracked this possibility down. I appreciate any help. I hope I'm right.

    It is gorgeous, Kiko, and certainly the right style. I am not aware of him using a T. Singer mark, but he did use several different marks, and he also used tags.
    But because I haven't seen this specific mark, I can't say for sure. I'm sure others here can.
    I'll tag @reader for you.

    Perfect. I love turquoise and this has so many polished pieces some seem to be turning a greener hue. I'm hoping I can get some confirmation here. Apparently, he died in 2014, so I can't ask him.

    They don't understand NA stuff. It's just junk jewelry to them. I also get a 35% discount through coupons.

    They short sell ethnic stuff especially Asian and NA. Yes. Once someone got an authentic squash blossom necklace for $25.

    The sterling cone beads look like they were commercially made.

    Thank you. I supposed he used available findings. He used them in a lot of his turquoise necklaces. I want this set though - too bad it is $29,000.
