    The one with navy blue and orange specks looks like foiled art glass, harelquin, perhaps.

    Or maybe dragon's breath?

    The swirls are reconstituted stones I think. Silver and gold brooch is interesting.

    I suspect the square yellow earrings marked with 925PB might be by Peyote Bird Designs. I believe their jewelry is marked with "925PB." The other mark, 6 spoke wheel, is probably that of the artisan. It seems Peyote Bird is known for it's Navajo style jewelry.

    According to their website, their jewelry is made by artisans from around the world

    "... team of talented designers and hand-crafted by numerous artisans from around the world; from expert stingers who are part of the Santo Domingo Pueblo in New Mexico to master metalsmiths residing in Indonesia."

    sooo probably can't specifically be called Navajo or Native American unless the artisan wheel mark can be identified. I looked in Wright's Hallmarks of the Southwest finding only one wheel similar to this one, ***but*** it had 7 spokes. It was for a David Tune, pp. 174 and 239. The only thing it has for him:

    "Tune, David Creek/Navajo/Hopi
    Silversmith:
    Hallmark: Stamped symbols.

    Tune is not listed as one of Peyote Bird designers on the company website.

    Susan, I think your meticulous research often goes under appreciated. I think it is always admirable.

    Thank you all for the kind words; however, do pat yourselves on the back also. Af, Bear, and Fig, you 3 are a part of the half dozen or so that I go out of my way to track your responses. I seem to learn something new from your messages every day. As to being unappreciated, there are many helpful souls that never get a thank you on these forums. I have thought at times of not reponding to a couple of people that never acknowledge help, but then thought the more replies given the more it might attract viewers to join us. Not acknowleging help only hurts the non-acknowledger, the recipient of the help, in the long run.

    Anyways, doing research keeps me busy and takes my mind off of other things. I am now 1/2 way through radiation therapy. This has kept me from doing much outside the house making these forums a helpful distraction.
