Im considering bidding on this. . . Looks Hopi, your thoughts?
Can anyone with a Hougarts Bible identify this Hallmark?
Thank you!

I think that is Danielle Wadsworth. I have a book on Hopi silversmithing and hallmarks, and I will double-check it in the am; I can’t get to it right now. It’s a beautiful pendant!!

You’re welcome! If I was an online auction person, I’d bid on that in a heartbeat, it’s gorgeous. I hope you get it!

with the picto hallmarks you would have still needed a name to search past threads here.
1st & easiest stop is the online sites to start your search.

I could not find her in my “Hopi Silver, the History and Hallmarks of Hopi Silversmithing,” book (a very good book if you’re interested in learning more about Hopi jewelry and artists), but my book is a 1995 edition, so if she’s a newer artist she wouldn’t be in there. I couldn’t find a lot of her items online at shops that I trust, (I think eBay and Etsy get a lot of things misnamed so I try to back up anything I find on those), but I did find this at Medicine Man Gallery.Danielle Wadsworth - Hopi Sterling Silver Ovleray Pin c. 1980-90s, 1.7
So now I’ve gone down a bit of a rabbit hole trying to figure out if Danielle Wadsworth is related to Cheryl Wadsworth who is the wife of Edison Soohafyah. I have one of his cuffs, so this whole thing made me curious. But I can’t find anything that says they are related.
