Native American Earrings - Help

Postby Lorisden » Sat Feb 11, 2012 12:05 pm

Hi, I hope someone can help me with my question. I have 2 pairs of what I have been told are Native American Sterling Silver Handcrafted Earrings. They are lovely but I cannot find out which Tribe or verify that they are in fact Native American Pieces. I hope someone can help me.

The earrings are stamped Sterling on the clasp and earring with a "Snowflake or Star" symbol next to the words. Additionally, they are signed CN on the earrings.

Thank you for your time.

Lori

Definitely not Native American. The mark is a manufacturer, I think I've seen it ID'd here before but don't remember who. It's the maker of the clips, used by anyone.
The earrings look like electroform work from Israel. It's hard to ID them since they often had stickers with the maker's name that were removed before wearing.
