@@leticia_v6404 Thank you Leticia! I appreciate your comment!

Thank you for such kind words, Annie. That means a lot to me. Some days are very difficult to navigate and often just a kind word re-energize me. Thank you so much.❤️

Aw, thank you Mama C! I will sell the concho belt anytime. I have no immediate plan yet for an online auction. Feel free to email me at ccslemp@yahoo.com if you’d like to talk about it. ❤

You are so kind!❤

Hi I'm new love the video and how to tell if it's real turquoise lovely pieces ❤❤

lol! Maybe we’re all hoarders in a way but I prefer to say we’re connoisseurs!😂

Thank you! I wish the camera could pick up the pretty citrus in the spray better.

Thank you, my sweet friend! That means a lot coming from somebody I admire so much ❤

Oh Jody, you’re so sweet and I love you, my friend!

Yes, Huskey! I have pictures of my grandmother wearing it and my aunt wearing it as a young girl. It is stunning. Perhaps if my aunt brings it on her next visit I will able to show it! Circa prior to the turn of the century!

I will sell the concho belt anytime if you want to consider it before the auction. You can email me at ccslemp@yahoo.com I’m so glad you like the videos! I’m just flying by the seat of my pants😂

@@geanabrafford4740 Thank you Geana! I appreciate it!

Thank you! I appreciate that!

Well, I love learning from other people so maybe we can learn from one another! I’ve got lots of books that were my mother’s and that I’ve bought and wonderful reference books but beyond that is where the investigating comes in. Just like you helping me yesterday with that cuff! That helped with the pieces together!

I thought about sinew as well, but the more I looked at it it doesn’t look like seen you. It’s a lot of fine fibers that look like horse hair like tail hair they long and there’s probably two dozen or more bunch together and it runs all the way through the center piece. Sinew isn’t that fine I don’t think.

Hi Annie! No, that does not mean the turquoise is fake or died. As is the case with that green, turquoise strand, the turquoise is beautiful and real. Old pieces are probably not fake. Newer pieces of turquoise could be plastic or some synthetic or could be dyed Howlite. Important to trust who you’re buying from. Over the years the market has suggested consumers like more matrix so there is some turquoise out there that inherently has a white matrix and then it is dyed black… more pleasing to the eye I suppose. If it is died and not covered with some material, then you should be able to rub the dye off as well. With howlite the dye goes very thinly through just the top layer the stone underneath would be white.

@@slempdesigns ok thankyou for clarifying. Im purchasing cabs to make pendants and rings and always want authentic. Im in Australia and unfortunately we don't have the gorgeous turquoise here that you have. You're so lucky to have access to so many beautiful semi precious stones!

Thank you Jane!

Thank you😊

@@slempdesignsi did 💕

@@LouisaH864If you are interested in purchasing the concho belt, you can email me at ccslemp@yahoo.com and we can’t discuss!😊

❤❤❤

Wow, thank you!❤

@@Mustang68gtcs Thank you! Someone else mentioned that there is a small Navaho res in Alamo and the name Padilla associated with it. I think they may be descendants of “Joe Padilla”. This cuff appears to be very very old.

Wow, thank you!❤❤

Glad you like them!❤

💗

Thank you! 😊

@@Dana-ke5fe Thank you!

@@blackdogvintagemi Thank you Leslie!

OMG!! Have you heard of him?? If so, what time frame was he alive? The last name Padilla threw me as to whether or not it was a Native American name.

@@slempdesigns I had a bracelet almost identical that I bought used in the 80s with his name. Padilla is a family name from Alamo Navajo Res and they still do art today. He may have past on but probably the Padillas alive today are relatives. Many Navajos have a Spanish name and intermarried. You could try to get in touch with the Res and see if they can tell you if he is still alive.

Thanks Chelle! 😘

@@KristinFindingMutti24 Hi Kristin! I really appreciate your note and encouragement! Im just being myself and trying to share interesting stuff with folks. That cuff was not from my mother/grandmother. I ran across it and liked it not knowing that it would present such a puzzle for me. I’ll eventually sell it along with some other pieces but I’d really like to figure out its story first if possible. Padilla is not a Navaho surname…it’s Mexican and Alamo is in Texas so Im trying to determine if it’s older than I first thought. I’ll keep you posted! Please share out my channel if you will. Im trying to build up a subscriber base before I do an auction. Thank you again my friend! ❤️

@ I shall spread the word about your channel! You have an incredible collection, thank you for sharing it with us 😊

Jane, the naja goes back as far as the Moorish and then the Spaniards used it to adorn their horse bridles. The Navajo adopted it as a reverse, crescent moon design, and felt that it had helped with fertility, wealth, and bravery.

@@slempdesigns Thank you so much. You answered a lot of questions I had. Especially that it is not an offence for a non-native to wear one. Hopefully I can acquire one at some point. Love all of yours.

Thank you 🫶

Thank you Rebecca!❤️
