Sanel appears to be some type of contract job shop that many different Native American artists worked for.
Betty Thomas appears to have been one of many
You’re currently selling them on Etsy, and you advertised them honestly. That’s a good thing. So hopefully you’re all set. I would say they’re authentically what they are. I don’t see a Betty Thomas in published ID’s of Native jewelers, nor a Hougart’s/Art Amerindien reference to Sanel the firm.
Thank you kindly for your response. I really enjoy finding out the origins and back stories. I appreciate you getting back to me on this.
Thank you. I try to be as honest as can be. I am an artisan as well as a reseller and understand. I like to give artists credit and show my respect, but do not want to take advantage of communities. I appreciate your time.
