Weiss White Jasper and Crystal Fringe Collar Necklace and Earring Suite, 1960s
By Weiss
Located in Tucson, AZ
Any woman can tell you: pure white jewelry is both hard to find and the perfect accessory in warmer months. Beyond its scarce color and famous signature, however, this suite is rare because of its high-fashion elegance. If one is lucky enough to find white jewelry it is almost invariably for daywear, whereas this set rests solidly in the evening wear category. Breathtaking.

Signed Joan Slifka Sterling Coral, Bone Pendant Necklace -16”, 1997
Located in Tucson, AZ
Southwestern-style master jeweler Joan Slifka began creating dramatic jewelry in the 1960s but didn’t consider herself a “real” jeweler until the 1980s when she began her business. A departure from her oversized, chunky designs using crosses and hearts, this more delicate piece still incorporates her signature use of semi-precious stones set in sterling, and is perfect for everyday wear. It even includes an easy-to-fasten magnetic closure for easy fastening and unfastening.
16” pendant necklace consisting of two different kinds of sterling chain; 1 ¼” fixed round pendant featuring oval coral cabochon atop a larger round polished bone cabochon, both set in scalloped Southwestern style filigree setting. Magnetic rear closure. Stamped and signed.
