Another auction find…

A dainty little necklace with small silver pearls, beads, and overlay pendants, stamped IE. I can’t find that hallmark in any of my usual places. Your thoughts on this one?

I got this ring in an auction fairly cheap. Signed GH. I could not find a match. Any thoughts on artist? Spiderweb Kingman? Thank you folks! And it fits over my big knuckles!

@nanc9354 That’s a lovely turquoise ring. Just checked Hougart’s Third Edition of NA/Southwestern Hallmarks book. For initials “GH”, on page 421, it shows: George Henry; Gordon Honyestewa; Gilbert Hunter. I don’t know if this will be helpful to you but, it could be a starting point.

I would guess not Gordon Honyestewa, because that is a Hopi name, and this isn’t a Hopi piece.

Thanks Patina. I have no idea. I’m thinking maybe Guy Hoskie? @ziacat….do you agree it is Kingman? :laughing:

@nanc9354 Nothing like Guy Hoskie’s work.

Correct…just checking out his work…he doesn’t do squash blossom designs. Perhaps it is an unknown artist…but I think it is nice work.

I’m thinking it could be Chinese turquoise.

Wow…you are an amazing super sleuth, I tried google search and came up with nothing. What did you use? Thank you.

same image search engine was used but somehow stumbled on the twin a few clicks in beyond the main results.
