I hope to find somd more inlay pieces sometime…I don’t have much of that yet. Here’s my piece, which was a flea market find. $30 well spent, I think!

So I was looking through a book (Indian Jewelry on the Market by Peter Schiffer) for something else, and found this photo. Looks familiar!

Hey there,
What book did you find that in? I’d really like to read up on it if there is anything to ad.
Thanks

It’s called Indian Jewelry on the Market by Peter Schiffer. It didn’t really have much info. The book was published in 96 so I’m sure the prices are off.
Now I need to watch hoops to see if my alma mater Purdue can get to the sweet 16, after watching my brother’s, Notre Dame, lose.

Congrats y’all! We have a family bracket going and I picked Arizona to win the whole thing, so clearly I’m not too invested in Purdue. And not one of us actually picked Notre Dame to win tonight so there is that.

I found another piece! Technically, this belongs to the husband but he has never worn it. Maybe I will. 
. This was purchased for around $75 at a roadside market of Native Americans selling jewelry at Oak Creek canyon, AZ. I cannot for the life of me tell what the little hallmark is supposed to be. Anyone have any idea?

Most definitely if he’s not wearing it you can claim it. It’s lonely without being worn!
I can’t figure that Hallmark out either. Is there a K and an O?

I forgot about this little guy till yesterday. I was driving to work, and saw a bald eagle which made me remember this pin/pendant. My nephew who is a National Park superintendent bought it for me from a Zuni friend who knew the artist.

Aww, you’re so gracious about it. 
Funny situation, we’ve got both Tar Heels and Blue Devils under this roof, and this is amazingly their first time together in the Final Four. Whaaat…!
I foresee separate popcorn bowls.

@Blackturtlehawk thanks! At the time we bought it, I didn’t know anything about what’s involved in the craftsmanship of NA jewelry, but now I have a whole new appreciation for it, and realize what a score it was!
