Description
Vintage 1990’s Native American Brooch.
This sterling silver brooch has a geometric inlay pattern of many different stones carefully set in silver. Turquoise, Lapis Lazuli, Spiny Oyster or Coral, Malachite, Sugilite, Gaspeite or Variscite.. and some that I am not familiar with.
(most likely Navajo.. as this is unmarked)
The scalloped and stamped silver border is a traditional Navajo design element.
On the back is stamped:
STERLING
There is no artist hallmark to be seen, however this Southwest-style brooch is very similar to many of the Navajo artisan’s pieces.
This is in EXCELLENT VINTAGE CONDITION. no issues to note. It appears to have never been worn.
The inlay work is very beautifully detailed and cleanly finished. This is a well made piece crafted by a talented artisan.
Measurements:
2-1/4 inches long x 1-7/8th inches tall
Weight: 35 grams
