Gold, Turquoise, and Los Castillo

[jason4kstate]

I found about 95% of these at one sale on Saturday. I paid around $80 in total for the pile. It was extremely rainy so I only made it to 3 sales. This weekend looks a lot nicer. Unfortunately most of the turquoise is unsigned. My usual competitor picked up a couple nice signed pieces but was distracted by looking through his loop so I picked up the rest. The necklace next to the liquid silver necklace is a piece of Los Castillo which should fetch around $200-300 (hopefully).

3.8 grams of 14K

~a little less than 1000 grams of sterling

Pretty! That one big oval blue pendant almost looks more like larimar stone than turquoise.
Hard to tell for sure from photo..... Nice haul there!

Its actually lapis. Its really light colored so it looks like larimar. That piece was kind of odd because it was done by a Sioux artist. At first I thought it was Taxco instead of Native American.

Nice haul indeed.

I'm a sucker for those fat silver cuffs. The 'right' artisan can be worth a small fortune.

Fantastic picks. Way jelly.

I've made good money off liquid silver necklaces. The more strands the better. Even if you can't identify the maker yours should sell for more as a BIN than the $80 you paid for the lot.

Big pile for $80. Well done

It's a 30 strand so I should get around $100 for it. It's definitely one of the biggest ones I have found so far. I find a few 15 strands a year. Last year I found the complete set (necklace, earrings, and a bracelet).

Good work scoring the silver jewelry!

 

[trdhrdr007]

I scored several liquid silver multi strand necklaces the last couple months of 2015 for less than spot prices. Strand counts ranged from 3 to 50. Sold most of them the first couple months of 2016 for great prices. The last one sold early this year.

They are fantastic pendant holders for large Native American pendants. I think a lot of my fellow garage sale hunters do not know what they are. I usually find them later in the day.
