  • interesting to see how native Americans used ot cover items with turquoise. I knew a Cherokee chief in Oregon (unfortunately he died last year by age), who had made a bears skull covered with turquoise. He showed it to me, it seemed a bit macabre, but not doubt a great work. (Have photos of it..., but it is not a piece of jewellery like this).
