I’m trying to find out the value of this necklace, I can’t find anything quite like it, it has some kind of teeth in it. The main piece is stamped M TSOSIE & under that stamped is STERLING. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

The “teeth” are bear claws. They appear to be authentic.

Nice bear claw squash by Marie Tsosie (Navajo). Turquoiseandco.com has her necklaces listed at $1700.

Really nice necklace! My husband tried to buy one of these from a Hopi man years ago at second mesa. Needless to say, he was wasn’t interested, but was happy to show it to us. Those are large claws (using beads for scale)! Wonder what kind of bear gave these up; or like anything else, they came from China

Im sure those are real, highly polished black bear claws. The size works well in the necklace.
