Some well-loved pieces of jewelry can tell quite a story. This Navajo bracelet dates to the late 20’s early 30’s. It was worn so long and so much that the triangle wire began to resemble half round. $2,100. (SANTA FE)
A rather unusual small table setting (ranging from 5 3/8 to 5 7/8 inches. Made by Marcus Lomayestewa. Very cool in that it not only comes with a ribbon that establishes the year it was made, but made even better by the fact that the judges were top notch silversmiths: the late Andy Lee Kirk of Laguna and the late Gibson Nez. $900 (TUCSON)
