N.A.T.

Hi! My first post. I have a Calvin bouquet necklace. I purchased in a layer j please taewelry store in Three Sisters Oregon. I’m attaching a picture front and back. I tried to find something like it online but was unable to. I believe the materials are chat, opal Jasper and something else but I’m not sure of all of the pieces. On the back, it is stamped sterling with a copyright symbol And underneath that N. A. T. And then Calvin Begay (name)

. My question is what does the N. A. T. Stand for?

I have no idea what the N.A.T. is, but there is a lot of stuff out there attributed to Calvin Begay which is not his. We have had a multitude of discussions about it on the forum. Here is one link that delves into the difficulties of trying to verify that anything with his supposed hallmark was actually made by him. So I personally would not feel comfortable saying your necklace is one of his works.

Which store in Sisters did you purchase your pendant? They may be able to assist you in identifying the stones used, or maybe direct you to where they sourced it from.

perhaps emailing these people will get you an answer to WHO or WHAT N.A.T. is

I imagine it is this company and manufactured. https://www.visitgallup.com/directory/native-american-traders/
