<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 74362, member: 44&quot;]I suspect the square yellow earrings marked with 925PB might be by Peyote Bird Designs. I believe their jewelry is marked with &quot;925PB.&quot; The other mark, 6 spoke wheel, is probably that of the artisan. It seems Peyote Bird is known for it&#039;s Navajo style jewelry. </p><p><br /></p><p>According to their website, their jewelry is made by artisans from around the world </p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;... 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.&quot; </p><p><br /></p><p>sooo probably can&#039;t specifically be called Navajo or Native American unless the artisan wheel mark can be identified. I looked in Wright&#039;s <i>Hallmarks of the Southwest</i> 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:</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Tune, David&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Creek/Navajo/Hopi</p><p>Silversmith:</p><p>Hallmark: Stamped symbols.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]19216[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Tune is not listed as one of Peyote Bird designers on the company website.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.peyotebird.com/jewelry-in-america/just-jewelry.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.peyotebird.com/jewelry-in-america/just-jewelry.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.peyotebird.com/jewelry-in-america/just-jewelry.html</a></p><p><a href="http://www.peyotebird.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.peyotebird.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.peyotebird.com/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>A couple examples of jewelry with their mark:</p><p><a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/Southwestern-Peyote-Bird-Designer-7-8-Sterling-Silver-Black-Oval-Pendant-/131567091497" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/Southwestern-Peyote-Bird-Designer-7-8-Sterling-Silver-Black-Oval-Pendant-/131567091497" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/itm/Southwestern-Peyote-Bird-Designer-7-8-Sterling-Silver-Black-Oval-Pendant-/131567091497</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Peyote-Bird-Collection-Navajo-pearl-onyx-sterling-earrings-vintage-P-B-signed-/151516884169?hash=item23471c2cc9" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Peyote-Bird-Collection-Navajo-pearl-onyx-sterling-earrings-vintage-P-B-signed-/151516884169?hash=item23471c2cc9" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Peyote-Bird-Collection-Navajo-pearl-onyx-sterling-earrings-vintage-P-B-signed-/151516884169?hash=item23471c2cc9</a></p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
