[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 414324, member: 2844"]Yes, a lot of pre-1980 NA jewellery is not marked. The coveted Old Pawn jewellery ( the real deal, not what some sellers call Old Pawn) is rarely marked. The decision to only accept marked NA jewellery as NA was a bureaucratic one. In my opinion it denied the history and strong tradition of NA jewellery making. If there had been an assay system, or quality control system with additional registered marking by a recognized organization (like the second Mesa 'Hopi Guild'), this wouldn't have happened. Anyway, whoever made Billy's necklace, it is lovely and a real bargain.[/QUOTE]
