[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 541970, member: 2844"]It has a Navajo look. They have been making channel work for a long time, although it started among the Zuni. I agree, the orangy red is spiny oyster, the purple is most likely sugilte, which the Navajo have been using for the last few decades. The J is just one of the many Navajo who can't be bothered to mark a bit extra.:D Almost entire families use the J mark, including many of the Jacksons and some members of the James family. A small clue can be the style of the sterling mark and the position in relation to the J. But I am sure many use that exact combination as well.[/QUOTE]
