Hallmarks will be shown, if no attribution is made then please assume it was unresearched due to time limitations. All items that are over 40+ years old should have age appropriate wear, more recent items will be extremely clean with no hidden flaws or repairs. The majority of our business on the (Estate Fresh Austin website) is to high end galleries all over the world, so the items we sell are in gallery condition. It is extremely common for 1970's and older Native American jewelry to have no markings whatsoever.
6.5" U.S. Navajo 70 c1940 deep stamped historic sterling silver cuff bracelet. Tested and guaranteed solid sterling silver. Circa second quarter of the 20th century. Very well made, unknown artist.
"The U.S. Navajo designation was used for just 4 years between 1938 and 1942, under a U.S. Government program created to assure the quality of native arts and crafts sold in trading posts on the Navajo, Zuni, Hopi and Rio Grande Pueblo reservations. Only originally approved and monitored posts could use the "U.S. Navajo" designation and the mark was an assurance of superior quality. The brilliant Navajo silversmith and jewelry instructor Ambrose Roanhorse personally made all the "U.S. Navajo" and "U.S. Zuni" jewelry stamps himself and also personally stamped many of the approved pieces. The "U.S. Navajo 70" stamp designated the Navajo Arts and Crafts Guild in Fort Wingate, New Mexico."
