Turquoise/Native American jewelry

Barton Wright's book Hallmarks of the Southwest show a small Gothic print "S T" used by a Navajo silversmith named Slim Turner beginning in 1977. A quick search turned up some work, but I didn't find a work with a photo of the hallmark.

That beaded bolo is spectacular!

Thanks Alan! I tried to chase that down, but only came up with one small bracelet that is no longer on Etsy. I'll run the artist's name by my friend who bought this originally and see if it rings a bell (she worked for Armand Ortega, Sr. in Gallup around that time).

I love silver and turquoise jewelry. Have purchased a few items for my wife but she asks that I stop buying her jewwellry and I don't need any further collectable addictions. So thank you, as I now live vicariously through you guys and those incredible pieces.
