Bev Etsate is the daughter of Rosalie an Augustine Pinto, who were known for their intricate inlay work. She has been making jewelry for well over thirty years. She is one of Zunis top jewelers and her work is collected worldwide. One of her favorite subjects is the Kachinas which she is well known for.
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.
