Featured Turquoise Sterling Watch

hello everyone, pretty little watch
Marked LM Sterling.. I think I found a Match Leonard Maloney?
TIA

 

Nice watch tips, Tricia.
There are several Native American silversmiths with an LM mark. This doesn't strike me as being by Leonard Maloney, who usually stamps with his surname:

I'll see if I can find your LM, but the style of your watch tips is pretty generic Navajo.

Leonard Maloney has a recognizable style. He mostly makes stampwork which is deeper than the usual Navajo stampwork and has beautiful detail. The stampwork is often blackened to emphasize the detail:

there's A lot of Maloneys

 

Luckily not as many as LMs.

This cuff is by the only other Navajo silversmith named Maloney I know of, Arnold Maloney. As you can see, his style is like Leonard's, but his mark is different.
