Turquoise/Native American jewelry

[BobHufford]

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).

The Slim Turner piece referenced above. Gifted to me from some good friends who are "downsizing".

A gift from my bride made by our old friend Jimmy Begay, Jr. (Navajo / Diné).

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.

Not jewelry, but picked up this urn at a local antique shop. No info on where it came from, no signature either. A friend thinks it may be Pueblo. Regardless, it appears to be pretty old and well made.

I don't know anything about jewelry, but I wear this belt buckle and wedding band. I was admiring the bear paw ring at a gem and mineral show, but didn't know my wife went back and bought it for me.

This ring was a gift in the early seventies. I used to wear it all the time, which explains the poor condition of the stones. I have included a shot of my favorite kachina.

I've neglected this thread. Here is the cuff I am wearing today, a mid 20th century creation by one of the silversmiths of the Navajo Arts & Crafts Guild.
