Agreed. I have a number of Peyote Bird items, all hallmarked by the artisan who made them.

We aren’t going to give you the answer you want.
Hougart’s doesn’t have a Philena Byjoe listed, just Philip who has a completely different hallmark. High Lonesome can be a rather sketch site. I believe you need to take your earrings elsewhere to get an opinion that makes you happy.
I also think it would serve you well to go out to the Four Corners area, to museums with Native American jewelry, or to respected Native American art markets, and see what good actual NA jewelry looks like in person; doing that can be extremely helpful.

Guess what i found the artist and sent a message. Not a definitive yes, but not a no.
I no longer give your expertise , really its an opinion, any value. I have the book too.

Definitely not a definitive yes. Somebody could easily be copying her work. But whatever, have a great night! Bye!

I trust these guys more than anyone when it comes to this stuff. They’ve actually debunked a cuff I had before that I was convinced was by a particular artist, so I really value their opinion.
I’m not saying you’re wrong at all, and it absolutely could be the artist you think it is. I’d just definitely listen to what these guys have to say because, believe me, they really know their stuff. @mmrogers @Ziacat
