OLD PAWN Vintage Navajo Native American Sterling Silver Turquoise Ring UNIQUE

November 1, 2022 by admin · Comments Off

This listing features a vintage Navajo ring, handcrafted with Sterling Silver and Natural Turquoise. Handcrafted in the mid century by an unknown Navajo Artist, this vintage ring features a unique design of a turquoise stone surrounded by interesting silver work. The stone is set in a straight bezel portraying color qualities of deep blue along with subtle matrixes and a satin polished finish. The silver work bordering the stone is thick and wrapped like a ribbon curling back and forth… I’ve never seen anything like it but, it’s truly beautiful and very well made. The back of the ring has a thick and sturdy split shank, in perfect round wearable shape. There is no sterling stamp or Artist signature which is common of the era however, the silver has been tested and proves to be sterling. A very well crafted and unique Navajo piece. Will make a great addition to any vintage collection of Native American jewelry. Enjoy this Navajo ring before handing it down to a loved one in the future. Size – 7.5. Weight – 10.8 Grams. Ring Face Measurements – The ring face measures 1-1/16″ long by 3/4″ wide. The ribbon like silver work stands on top of the ring face at 3/16 high. Stone Measurements – the stone measures 7/16″ long by just over 1/4″ wide and sits on top of the “silver ribbon” an additional 3/16 high. Signed by Artist – NO. Stamped Sterling – NO, tested and verified. 925 sterling silver guaranteed. Later-Mid Century, 1960’s+. Condition – Preowned, in excellent vintage condition with original stone and naturally aged patina, ready to wear or display. I treat every item as if it were my own.

Navajo Spoon Set / Turquoise & Sterling Silver / Vintage Southwest Pawn

September 9, 2022 by admin · Comments Off

Navajo Spoon Set / Turquoise & Sterling Silver / Vintage Southwest Pawn. Set of two old Navajo spoons (circa 1940’s). Both unique with traditional silver stamping and blue and green turquoise stones at tips. Each spoon measures 4 inches long x. Great vintage condition with warm patina. Spoons and other flatware embellished with stamped images, were among the earliest products of Navajo silversmiths. Silversmiths responded to an influx of tourists traveling through the Southwest on the new transcontinental railroad – by producing some of their finest and most imaginative work. As Americans indulged a passion for collecting spoons and other fancy flatware, Navajo and Pueblo silver enjoyed tremendous popularity in the 1920’s and 30’s. This item is in the category “Jewelry & Watches\Ethnic, Regional & Tribal\Necklaces & Pendants”. The seller is “mezyoudi_97″ and is located in this country: US.

Massive Old Pawn Squashblossom Native American sterl. Lander Co Turquoise Navajo

August 25, 2022 by admin · Comments Off

A RARE AND UNUSUALLY LARGE NATIVE AMERICAN (NAVAJO) STERLING SILVER AND TURQUOISE SQUASHBLOSSOM. Please scroll down to see all photos, and read full description. This is a fabulous old pawn American Indian piece of epic proportions. I have looked around and have not seen one on the online marketplace of equal size and stature for close to this price and with time, these old pawn pieces are rarer and appreciate in value. Whether you wear this or frame it in a shadowbox for display, this is a collector piece. A heavy silver and turquoise squashblossom necklace comprised of 17 large 3 dimensional shadow-box discs, each mounted with impressive a deep teal-blue genuine turquoise nugget with a blackish matrix and stamped around the edge with a design. Additionally hand made silver rounded beads are strung on the rest of the chain. The piece has some age and is unmarked for metal or maker’s mark (but acid tested) as silver. On the back side, it has black sharpie writing from the original trading post vendor out West from whom the previous owner bought it on her travels. Because of no makers mark or silver marks, this was likely originally made to be worn by the silversmith or tribal family member. The handwriting on the back identifies the turquoise as Lander – which on some research and correspondence with the national expert and owner of the Lander Blue turquoise mine – notes that this indicates it must have originated from a turquoise mine in Lander County. The depth of blue color and matrix certainly has similarities with Lander blue (although it doesn’t look the same as any polished Lander blue stones I’ve seen, in part because the rough nuggets display the pattern differently – your view on looking at it may vary). The black matrix seems more defined in Lander blue, however this does not detract from the uniqueness and quality of this turquoise. The photos of a 5 8 tall person show the scale and sheer magnitude of the squash blossom necklace. It weighs approximately 491 grams. Total length of necklace: 34 inches. One side down to end of horseshoe: 19. Length of horseshoe/naja: 4. Width of horseshoe: 4.5. Diameter of discs: 1.75. You are welcome to ask questions, request additional photos and submit offers.

Old Pawn Navajo Sterling Silver Fine Nevada Blue Lander Web Turquoise Bolo Tie

August 18, 2022 by admin · Comments Off

On offer is an authentic, large handsome vintage NAVAJO hand wrought. 925 sterling silver fancy BOLO – BOLA TIE adorned with an amazing southwestern sky blue spiderweb hand cut and polished natural turquoise cabochon that is characteristic of the Lander County mine region of Nevada. The BOLO is not hallmarked which was quite common in earlier Native American material. It has the older Bennett Pat. We believe this impressive BOLO tie was created circa 1970’s. This traditional Native American BOLA – BOLO TIE was crafted with attention to detail and is in very good vintage condition (please see ALL photos for an accurate detailed depiction). The BENNETT clasp is in good working order. The silver plaque is adorned with silver rope and raindrop beads surrounding the natural southwestern Lander Nevada blue spiderweb turquoise cabochon stone. The turquoise stone measures approx. 1 1/16″ long x 1 5/16″ wide and is firmly and securely set in a plain silver bezel. The stone is in very good condition with no chips or cracks. The bolo plaque is attached to braided black leather cord that is clean, strong supple and wearable. The cord measures approx. 36″ long including the 1 3/8″ long silver tips. Overall, the bolo plaque measures approx. 1 3/8″ long x 1 1/2″ at widest. The silver and turquoise bolo with leather cord weighs 30.9 grams. This classic old Navajo sterling silver and natural southwestern spiderweb Lander Nevada Blue Turquoise BOLA – BOLO TIE would make an outstanding addition to any Twentieth Century Native American Jewelry, Southwest American Turquoise, Western Costume or Historic Cultural Arts collection. We have been involved in the design and creation of contemporary jewelry at the undergraduate and post graduate level since 1967. In 1975 we opened a gallery of hand wrought fine art contemporary jewels and have since handled thousands of unique, one of a kind and limited edition pieces crafted predominantly by American artisans with a special emphasis on Native American Art. Will be determined upon request. We believe our photos and description to be an accurate testament. Thus, ALL SALES ARE FINAL. However, mistakes do happen. Thanks for looking and good luck.
