Overview & history
Navajo work — heavy stamped and cast silver set with turquoise, plus hand-woven rugs — is our largest Native American segment. Old-pawn jewelry and fine regional weavings lead.
Identifying & marks
Look for hand-stamped and hand-pulled bezels, sand-cast forms, and a maker's or shop hallmark; sterling should test .925. On weavings, hand-spun wool and natural dyes indicate age and quality.
