Message:: [QUOTE="reader, post: 234611, member: 255"]This is going to be one of the oddest posts I've ever made on any board because it's a quote from a source that I can't reveal so it's a "total trust me" from a person you don't know by a person you don't know but I hope from my posts on this board you may have some respect for my contacts and my knowledge. I promise you that the following is from a known major authority on NA jewelry and the person who has always generously shared knowledge with me. The bottom line is that we've really gone the full circle and we're back to non-identification of a piece that must be kept or sold as Southwestern only but here is the response with a few ideas for your continued research if you're so inclined: "The .925 mark on the centerpiece suggest very strongly that that piece is not American Indian. The watch bracelet itself looks very much like the work or Larry Yazzie or Tom Hawk (they generally sign their work) but embellished with additional features by someone else. (Their 'track" bracelets were always very clean and contemporary.) In short, someone could have taken a Navajo watch bracelet and modified it. (I've seen a number of watch bracelets converted into bracelets as watches begin to disappear". The above makes sense to me as from the getgo I thought that the components were an odd mix but I didn't consider a "marriage".[/QUOTE]
