    Hi all, I'm hoping someone might know the maker of the this bracelet - I'm not even sure if the mark is letters or a symbol. May a Navajo bracelet? Would this be referred to as inlay stones?
    any information appreciated
    thanks for looking:)

    Thought inlay was more of a Navajo specialty?

    there's all kinds of cross pollination...

    Navajo do it too...but I like to think of Navajo as big turquoise and silver work..

    /[​IMG]

    .when the Navajo inlay...u still tend to get the silver stamping as well...

    [​IMG]

    while Zuni artists concentrate on the stones..
    .like the petite point , and needle point...

    .and the crest images..

    CX's bracelet is light tourist fare , and could be either or...
    but I see Zuni from the classic stone selection.. and thicker black borders.

    I truth , I'd be lying if I said I could tell these apart on a regular basis......:confused:

    Wowser, those are some big pieces of turquoise:)

    thanks komokwa - the mark just isn't very clear:) I'll look in the direction of possibly Zuni inlay

    the only one I know or think I know is the opal

    Traditionally Zuni unless chip inlay which is Navajo and Kewa (Santo Domingo) although everyone does everything these days.
