Paula says - "In my opinion, this bracelet shows all the design characteristics and workmanship of being Navajo made. But because there is no hallmark that we can attribute to a specific artist we can't legally sell it as Native American made - read more." "This piece is NOS (new old stock) that was made more than a decade ago but never sold - it is brand new vintage! "Want your jewelry to look like new? Read my blog 'To Polish or Not to Polish'. " Brass channels with inlay of mother of pearl, turquoise and jet.

A splendid Chippewa gentleman who was a disabled veteran, operated a Native American jewelry store in Louisiana which he loved very much. He and his wife shopped in the southwest for their store. When he passed on, his wife, also a disabled veteran, didn't feel she would be able to operate the store alone and besides the memories of her dear husband were so entwined with the jewelry, she felt she needed to move on. After a few years, and with the help of a good girlfriend, she began going through the items in her storage locker and sending them to us to find new homes for. All of these items are New Old Stock and some of them are vintage. This is quite a large collection which we will be listing for some time to come. |
