Just purchased a lot of rings that includes this Hallmark on the back. Struggling to figure out who the maker is. Would be so grateful for any help. Did look on the website but I can't find it. Hoping these are authentic. I would be so grateful for any information you can provide on these. Thanks so much :)
Wondering if this is native and real turquoise? The stone looks off to me. Maybe block turquoise? Stone has almost a small yellowish orange spot and slight black line that could be a matrix. It's super smooth and almost felt like plastic but is cool to touch and hard when tapped on your tooth. There is a marking that appears to be a G with an arrow around it. Can't find it on the identification guide. So grateful for any help with this one. :)
Wondering if this is a makers mark? Also appears to have some slight rust. Although a magnet does not stick trying to figure out if this is real silver which I think it probably is and if this is in fact a maker's mark? It's like it may be more of an engraving? Any feedback you can provide on this would be so appreciated. Seller indicated that the ring was new and in storage since 1974. I'm thinking it's real turquoise but not sure. Thanks in advance. :)
There are no stamps on this however the clasps look native and have some stamped detail on them. Appears to be Sterling with turquoise, lapis and Shell bead. Not sure if these are Zuni fetishes? I'm thinking it's native but not sure. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance:)
I was interested if people had feedback on the style of the specific design. Wasn't sure if it's Navajo or Zuni. The artist Mark is an r and it is stamped sterling. Just picked this up today to add to the collection. As a guy it's been hard to find larger size rings as many seem to be pinkies and this one fits my ring finger. Any feedback you have on the specific ring would be greatly appreciated. It does look like they may have used some super glue one fortunately and one of the rocks to secure it. I guess just part of the history. Thanks in advance for any guidance.
Trying to identify the artist of this pendant. Looked at the key online but can't figure out who it is. Also wondering is it normal for the turquoise to be discolored at the base like it is on this item? Thank you so much in advance for any information or guidance you can provide. Just picked this up today. Thanks again :)
Picked these up today for free. They don't have any 925 stamping and a magnet sort of faintly will pull on them but not really. Not sure if these are native I'm thinking not. Definitely appear machine made. Maybe they're sterling pleated. They sort of look like maybe they're trying to be native knock off? Open to any feedback you may have. Trying to decide to keep them or get rid of them. Thanks again.
Picked up this ring today. A little unclear on who the maker is as it has two marks. Looks like L Lee and then RL in a separate spot. Unfortunately the stone has a rattle to it. Will probably cost more than those item to have it fixed so I may just use it as it is. Any insights or ideas on information on this would be so appreciated. Do you think it's real turquoise and silver? Is this authentic Native? So grateful for the help.
Purchased my first Effie Zuni piece today. My family seems to think that the snakehead is damaged behind the head. I noted this may have just been a natural process of making the piece but they insist that there's damage there. Not sure how the Sterling would break quite off but wondering what your thoughts are. The item was $60 plus tax which seems to be I think a good price for this artist but not sure exactly. It's a really neat piece and I'm in love with it. Wondering any thoughts or insights you might have on the piece, it's history or more on the artist. Thanks again for everybody's support and help.
Wondering if this ring is Native American or likely something imported from the Philippines or somewhere overseas. Struggling to know on this one before purchasing. Thanks in advance for the help.
Picked up this belt buckle today. Wondering if anybody is familiar with what artist RT is. Any information you can provide would be so helpful. I think the stones are authentic turquoise but not 100% sure. My first belt buckle and I do think it's beautiful.
Just picked up this ring today. It has a stamp of sterling and a maker's Mark but I'm not quite sure who the maker is. Wondering if anybody has a sense of who this maker is and also if it's authentic turquoise and maybe what type of turquoise it could be. I'm struggling to know what is dyed howlite versus real turquoise. At this store it is pay by the weight so the ring cost $42. I didn't think this was a bad price but not sure. Grateful for any feedback or thought you have on it. Thank you so much to the community for all of your help. This is a wonderful resource.
Do you think this stone is real turquoise as it has some white veining or could it be dyed howlite? Not sure if this is hand carved or a stamped design. Do you think it's real Native American or made overseas? Many thanks
Just picked this up today $32 and it was labeled sterling. When I got it home for some reason a magnet does stick to it sort of pulling right to the middle. I've read online that sometimes in vintage jewelry there was a metal base used behind the stone. Not sure if that's true. Does not seem to stick to the band or the outer part but is pulling right to the middle. Do you think this is counterfeit Native American or maybe something made overseas that would be counterfeit. Interested in any thoughts you might have. This is the only ring I have that a magnet will stick to. Assuming it's not authentic but wondering your thoughts.
Picked this up today at a local antique store. Wondering if you have any sense of how old it is. I think it may be stabilized which I'm not quite sure if that decreases its value. It seems to have sort of an clear epoxy around it to keep the stone in place. Is that typical ? Tested it and it appears to be silver via magnet. Have been looking for a bolo for a long time. The very nicely only charged me $80 which I'm thinking is maybe a good deal. I don't seem to see any markings on it. Grateful in advance for any feedback or ideas you could provide on its origin or any idea if it's real regarding the stone. Thanks so much.
Wondering what this could be. It has a some very intricate carvings in it and some tiny holes as part of the pattern. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Wondering what value it may have and what the material could be origin or anything like that. Thanks so much
Wondering any information people might be able to share in this. No markings so not sure if it's Sterling and real turquoise. Any sense of what type of turquoise and origin. I do really love it but not sure if it's authentic. Grateful for your help.
Not sure what this is. Was told it was purchased in New Mexico. Appreciate the help.
Hello Everyone,
Wondering if anyone knows what this is. Picked this up over the weekend. Has ornate carvings and was told it's yellow jade. Do you think it's machine made or hand carved. Any sense of origin or value. Appreciate the help :)
