I have always had a love for Native American artistry in jewelry and turquoise in general. However I have just started learning about artist signatures and marks. I recently bought two pieces just because I loved them. Now that I own them I want so badly to know more. I love inlay and understand that the artist is likely Zuni. Is that correct? The first item is a pair of earrings that has a mark I’ve seen before and it’s making me crazy to not find it now. I will attach photos. I would also love an opinion on what the orange stone is. I was hoping spiny oyster maybe?? There is a C inside a circle….does that stand for copyright? And if anyone has a guess at their worth?
The second is a lizard inlay pendant that is signed and also stamped. The signature is what I cannot locate. Any clues? Also what this pendant might be worth. My genuine thanks in advance for your knowledge.
