[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 10217135, member: 2844"]Ditto. One thing to remember about Navajo jewellery is that a lot of it is based on Art Nouveau jewellery. Art Nouveau jewellery was made in many parts of the world. I could see that coral ring having been made in Europe, and even in Morocco. It is the better of the two, also good stones and a nice chunk of silver for such a small ring. Btw, I agree, it looks resized. Thank you for the tag.:) I do have a book of NA marks, but encounter the same problem you do on the French site. The ring is Zuni, not just because of the inlay and initials, but also the type of ring band. But with such poor quality inlay it is bound to be a minor maker. In such cases knowing the name doesn't add any value to the ring. In general, small ring sizes don't sell very well. Your market is mainly young girls and the occasional woman with dainty hands.[/QUOTE]
