<p>[QUOTE="George Chaney, post: 4445829, member: 19137"]The stones are probably agate, but the quality of the photos makes it hard for me to offer an opinion. I'd have your jeweler verify as Jasper was used as well and I cannot tell with certainty from the photographs if they are opaque or not. The cuff has the look of a tribal Navajo piece, but the pieces being unsigned and unattributed make it a challenge to say that is what it is. If it were me, and holding it in my hand, I would expect it to be Navajo. Based upon your Grandmothers passing date, it could very well fall into the Fred Harvey jewelry era. The ring, as it is presented in the pictures - again, assuming unsigned, I would say southwestern in style with an art nouveau looking pierced swirling design, but certainly not Tribal. </p><p><br /></p><p>I am assuming you have taken a jewelers loop and looked on the underside of the cuff for markings and the inside of the ring for same. Without any makers mark it would be impossible to attribute them to anyone.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
