That’s funny – I got into Francisco Gomez because he does snakes (and horses)! That’s cool though, and I might be interested in buying one of your Gomez pieces. I have some jewelry made by him and I think he does great work. Sadly, I need to consult the budget first because I haven’t won the lottery yet.
I’ve got her signature snake ring with the double turquoise stones (size eight), a pair of turquoise pierced earrings in the signature snake design, a snake pendant with a turquoise and a coral stone (not the big triangular pendant she also makes, but one with two round stones and a snake winding around it), and an onyx snake ring (size 11 or 11.5, I can check). The turquoise ring, earrings, and pendant are all vintage from the 1960s. (If you’re worried about establishing the date of the vintage pieces, it’s clear because they’re morenci turquoise (which has a quartz matrix) and morenci turquoise became hard to get later and she switched to sleeping beauty, which tends to be a more uniform brighter blue; also they were bought by a family member who collected in the southwest in the ’60s and ’70s). The onyx ring is new (and heavy). If any of those sound interesting, I can email you photos.
Best,
