[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 293341, member: 2844"]That is fine for a private note. If you want to sell them, at this stage the only thing you can say for sure is Southwestern, and you can add 'Dishta style' for the earrings. This just crossed my mind: For the pendant, see if you can find Sikyatki Rainbird designs, or just Sikyatki bird designs. Some of those are mirrored. Sikyatki is an ancient Hopi village. Southwestern jewellery, native and non-native, is often inspired by archeology. Here are some Sikyatki Revival bowls by Nampeyo (1860-1942), the Hopi initiator of the Revival, the mirrored stylized birds are facing outward, like yours: [IMG]https://i.pinimg.com/564x/1e/b1/c6/1eb1c63982fe78e4a76cdcfba0c5f964.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://i.pinimg.com/564x/06/47/a2/0647a2fb48b10bf92cade1c011541cd7.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://i.pinimg.com/564x/54/27/96/5427961e5a7f2dda0872ab8d64213161.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE]
