New NA jewelry additions

I like the lady weaving also, but I couldn’t find much on the artist. I don’t know if they made the necklace (or just the pendant) or if that could have been added. I did see one online site say that the artist was Laguna/Zuni, but I don’t know if that was right.

If it was me, I wouldn’t worry about the hallmark. I’ve never really heard of anyone do anything to protect one.

I have a ring by Allenroy Paquin (met him at the Eiteljorg decades ago) who is Apache/Zuni. Maybe they are related.

the style of work, sterling stamp font & missing LAG-ZUNI stamp on your pendant is not a match for Opal Paquin.

this is a closer match although questionable

Thank you Steve. you are the best sleuth on here. I think it is well made and I like the pendant and the necklace so I guess it may stay a mystery but if I had to pick one…it looks like Offina Pino. The rippled background is seen on some of her work. Offina Pino -Sterling Silver- Vintage Navajo Storyteller Band - Ring Size 8.25 | eBay Thank you for the nice comments @BlytheEcho and @Ziacat. Which earrings are your favorite Hopi from Taylor…can I see a pic…only if you have the time.

Oooh, @AZBoots! Love your ring…screams classic Joseph Coriz!. I also love his jewelry. I saw one of his fabulous turtle/turquoise pendants on a spectacular chain at SF market a couple years ago…here’s hoping you add one to your collection before too long :blush:

Thanks so much! I’m really enjoying them. They’re versatile since they don’t “read” strictly Navajo.

This pendant by Trinidad Lucas just came home with me :slight_smile: must be a hummingbird from the beak. It’s about an inch and a quarter long.

(For anyone looking for NA jewelry in Florida, the Silver Feather in St. Augustine has always had a nice selection…typical gallery prices).
