Navajo Turquoise Bracelet

Postby Dannd » Thu Apr 23, 2015 1:41 am

Hello,

I am having trouble identifying the artist of this bracelet (although its profusely marked).I believe the artist signed it in the Navajo language but also it is marked "JR" and the only reference I can find to a JR is Jerry Roan but the piece doesnt really look like his work. I tried "FR" as well but no luck. It is also marked with a frog (at least I think thats what it is?). Any help would be appreciated!

HI,
New to Navajo silver and this site. Noticed that site has info in the Mexican silver section that may help you. "980" is from Mexico and looks like "Mexico" stamp is on your piece. Check it out. http://www.925-1000.com/mexican_marks.html
Good luck.

As already mentioned, this piece is marked 'MEXICO', the same 'JR' mark can be found on other Southwestern style pieces, always marked ' MEXICO ', sometimes with an additional 'NAVAHO' [sic] mark...
