[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 399365, member: 2844"]It is made in the Zuni shadowbox style generally associated with the Dishta family. But it doesn't look Dishta made to me, and my guess is non-Native. The turquoise looks like Sleeping Beauty, the turquoise of choice of the Dishta family and most other Zuni silversmiths, but also used by others. But no proof, no claim, sorry. The coral is Mediterranean, also generally used in older NA and SW jewellery. This (single) one is said to be by Terry Dishta, Dishta pieces are often not marked as such: [IMG]https://i.etsystatic.com/7632503/r/il/051bf5/1638941873/il_570xN.1638941873_dby5.jpg[/IMG] [URL]https://www.etsy.com/nl/listing/623021508/native-american-vintage-zuni-turquoise?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=dishta&ref=sr_gallery-1-12&organic_search_click=1[/URL][/QUOTE]
