Cast silver cuff - Navajo Arts and Crafts Guild

Just finished for customer in Dallas...

Here's an auction I was watching. I knew it would go high, but didn't think this high. Highly collectable 8 grams of silver.

Wearing today... marked KAT 52 55 - no other info about this piece. I thought it was a nice use of a file and a single stamp.

Stumbled across this thread this afternoon. The wonders of the FL never cease. I am in awe of you guy's stuff.
Here's what little that lives at my house.

Marked sterling TC Navaho. My wife bought this for me b.c. (before children) on a trip to Albuquerque. Stood there and watched the guy make it.

This one's signed but it's so tiny I can't make it out.

This one is my wife's. No hallmark. The dealer said it was 60s.

Not Native American, but North Amercan. Sterling with gold overlay from Mexico. Dealer told me 40's.
Thanks for letting me share.

and thanks for sharing. B.C. understood completely. One comes out the other side a sadder and wiser man.

Very nice additions, Bert.

Wow!! Looks like a sun and planets. Thats right up your alley Alan. Beautiful piece.
That's a fantastic ring too, Howardeye.
I need to stop in here more often.

Thanks! I hadn't considered the solar system theme. Pluto was discovered in 1930 (guessing the cuff is from a similar time) but if i were doing this, I'd have kept it at 8 planets.

Those guys were in tune with a lot more than we give them credit for

That tourist trade jewelry was designed by white traders.
