Recently, I inherited a collection of Native American jewelry from one of my clients. The pieces are beautiful but unfortunately, some of them are too big for me to wear. I would like to sell these items, but I would first like a little information on them if anybody could help me. I would like to know the maker, the tribe, possibly how old they are and of course the value of them. I do happen to know that they are over 25 years old because I knew this client 25 years and she had them before I met her. Any help would be appreciated very much.

Do any of the rings have hallmarks on the back? If so, try to post pics of those. Otherwise nearly impossible to figure out the artist (even then it can be difficult). The rings look to be mostly Navajo, except for the inlay one; not sure about that. Also not sure the basket weave ring is Native made. The necklaces look like Santo Domingo work, but hard to tell for sure. Others will be able to help further.

Can you post a photo of each item? Kind of hard to see them.
Also, if there any hallmarks or other marks, please post those.

You have to wait for the pictures to load completely before posting. I have slow country internet and mine can take a long time. Please post them again. They look like some nice pieces and it would be great to see them. Thanks
