1970's Kingman turquoise sterling Native American bolo tie, marked sterling 38" long with no issues.All precious metals are tested and guaranteed. A Native American jewelry piece referred to as "silver" or "ingot" is guaranteed to be at least 90% silver. I rarely use the word "sterling" when referring to older Native American silver or really any older silver jewelry as silver contents vary and "sterling" is 92.5% silver. No older jewelry is going to be exactly 92.5% silver, some a little over, some a little under. It wasn't an exact thing with handmade jewelry. I've seen thousands of pieces xrf'd to prove this. Bracelets are photographed on a 6" women's wrist.

1950's Vic Cedarstaff Bolo Tie Sterling - cobblestone turquoise/coral horseshoe. Amazing and one of a kind bolo. Marked 10k on back along with sterling mark. I didn't test it but don't see anything that looks like gold on the bolo. 40" long cordThe story – which has prevailed against all others and as far as is known, has never been challenged – takes us to Wickenburg, Arizona in 1949. Here, Victor E. Cedarstaff, a resident, designed and made the first bola type of necktie.As Vic tells the story, he was out horseback riding one day and sudden gust of wind blew his hat off. Picking up his hat, he found that the band had become detached. Rather than try to replace it on the spot, he just slipped the band over his head and let it hang loose around his neck. After awhile his riding friend noticed it and remarked. “Nice tie you’re wearing, Vic!” This remark turned out to be more than casual; it sparked an idea. Being a silversmith, and having taught leatherwork, Vic went to work and designed something new and distinctive in this field. In a day or two, he had fashioned a tie from some leather lacing and trimmed the braid ends with silver balls. To this, he fastened a small silver slide adorned with a piece of turquoise. The tie attracted a good deal of skeptical attention from friends, however, orders soon began to arrive.Vic’s problem was that there seemed to be no good way of attaching the slide to the braid, one that would not slip or damage the braid. However, in due time, he succeeded toward this end by designing a triangular shaped slide, which he named a yoke. Unlike most conventional slides, which contain a variety of clips and locking devices to hold the tie in place, this yoke had none and it eliminated the necessity of having to slip the tie on over the head. He succeeded in creating something new and original and on this basis he was issued a patent.Searching for a suitable name for the tie, he settled on one that was truly western. He called it a “Piggin Necklet” naming it from the piggin-string that the cowboys use for tying the legs of a calf. Sometime later, Vic was visiting with a friend in Wickenburg, who had been in Argentina, South America. The friend showed him a device, which he had brought back with him. He called it a “bola” and explained that the Gauchos of that country used it for catching cattle. It bore a strange resemblance to the tie, which Vic had designed; in the way it was braided and had terminals similar to his tie. Vic decided to drop his original name for the tie, and call the tie “bola”. The name change proved almost magical. Soon others began making similar ties and marketing them under various trade names. However, the name “bola” seemed to be the one, which endured, and in the end it has become the universal name for the tie.

Child labor laws kept the<br>young man from working as a craftsman, but after World War I he was old enough<br>to be hired as a designer for an important jewelry firm. In 1924 he contracted<br>tuberculosis, and the firm sent him to a sanatorium in Santa Fe, New Mexico.<br>Patania was seduced by the active art colony and healthy climate, and chose to<br>remain in the Southwest even after his health improved. His work reflects both<br>his European training and his exposure to Pueblo and Navajo jewelry.<br><br>The legacy left by Frank Patania, Sr. came from the integration of two<br>distinctly different traditions-one European, and the other Native American. On<br>the one hand, Frank Sr. drew from a long history of Italian creative spirit,<br>combining technical expertise and artistic imagination. He instilled in his<br>family the Italian commitment to fine craftsmanship, as well as the Italian<br>custom of family corporate bonding.<br><br>This uniquely Italian tradition can be traced back as far as the Renaissance,<br>and provides a structure in which each member of an artisan family has a job to<br>perform that contributes to the family enterprise. This familial check and<br>balance system has been a powerful asset to the Patania family's continued<br>standard of excellence through the years. But Frank Sr.'s style was drastically<br>transformed when he was introduced to the work of southwest Native American<br>jewelers in the 1920s.<br><br>His inspiration was multi-faceted; he began to work in a new medium-silver and<br>turquoise-as well as in increased scale, and using new techniques. The<br>successful marriage of these two disparate traditions has become the foundation<br>upon which each generation has maintained the tradition of excellence in<br>craftsmanship and design that has come to be known as the "Patania Thunderbird"<br>style.
