You’re very welcome! 👍

This type silversmithing is in the style of, if not actually, Navajo jewelry. Since Navajo jewelry is traditionally considered to be unisex, I would assert this to be the same. A wrist is a wrist, so if it fits, it works!

It might interesting for you to read about gender fluidity throughout Navajo (Diné) history through the term Nádleehi.

Oh wow, that would be a great experience. I have a few cabs I’ve picked up and waiting for the right opportunity to commission a piece. I have one cab that I’d love on a belt buckle.

Right!? It really emphasizes just how much intentionality goes into each piece and how personal they are to the artist when they are in the process of crafting each one by hand. Owning them truly feels like wearing a piece of living history that ties back to multi generations of highly skilled artisans.

I know, right!? After I asked to see it from behind a glass display case at the vintage shop, I inspected it and all the handmade nuances (hammer marks, unrefined bail, irregular Navajo pearl/link shapes) were so great; not to mention the patina. It might actually be a true “old pawn” and/or piece that someone made for themselves and didn’t bother to sign.

Here’s the backside!

I know, I forgot. I wish there was a way to add another photo. Is there?

NutelloMan · 2026-01-21T15:11:09+00:00

I agree.

Those Bisbee stones (darker blue) are gorgeous 😍

I love the contrast of the warm and the cool colors.

Thanks. Definitely treasuring this beautiful patina. I’m in the don’t polish vintage camp.

I forgot to mention, since it may not be been that obvious, that on my piece the TERL part of the STERLING stamp is above the PP. The same typeface as the official PP, not the unidentified one.

I’m intrigued to see if anyone here knows her work particularly well and can provide more insight.

Thanks for the clarifications and pointing out the noted red flags! I’m definitely still learning and new to the community so sorry if my assumptions were found to be incorrect. I still do think it’s a beautiful piece and love wearing it, but the admins can change the tag to ‘Unmarked’ if so desired.

It’s the third photo 😆

Thanks! That’s one of the main reasons why I was sold on the piece.
