Hello to all. I have inherited 20 years worth of Native American & Southwestern jewelry.
Most have been marked with hallmarks (i.e. Oscar Betz, Kirk Smith, P Livingston, Chimney Butte…)
but the I have these pieces that have very different hallmarks/etchings
on the backs.
The coral earrings - I noticed a possible lot # along with etching.
The cuff - AIYZR
What is the take of you all on these particular pieces.
Thank you so much for the help.
Mystery pieces. I am assuming the KGN is the artist hallmark (couldn’t find anything), the ss sterling silver, the other marks maybe some type of cataloging? This is going to remain a mystery. The bottom bracelet is the code for the cost that the buyer/trader would have marked in the piece. The style is done by a number of artists, including Kirk Smith.
