Silver bracelet with hallmark N- ?

Post by f1shdude »

I think this is Native American, but not sure. My wife and I are wondering if anyone has any info regarding this 65 gram, 1 3/16" wide bracelet? It's a beautiful piece, but we've never seen a single hallmark of just an N-

I've included pictures. We don't even know if it is sterling. Thanks all

Welcome to the forum.

Looks, to me, like Navajo silversmith Stanley Curley's mark. Specialized in chip inlay which was
originally developed by his brother-in-law Tommy Singer. Not sure of working dates. 1970's?
That's probably turquoise and branch coral.

thanks for the imput, I think you're right. I'm assuming since there's no "sterling" mark, that it isn't sterling silver?

You're welcome. It is sterling silver.
A lot of Native American silver is not marked sterling or .925.
