    I was going to list this you online. I know who the designer is because it is signed. My question is on the chain. I have found other pieces of his with the exact same chain an the lighting bolt clasp now with that being said to you think I can attribute to him without someone getting stupid about it on eboooo I will add a picture of a piece I found with the same type chain actually affixed to the other necklace.

    I guess I forgot to post a picture of the back of the pendant.Here it is. That's why I was asking because the pendant is clearly marked an the chain with that same lighting bolt is on his other pieces.

    Agree, that is his paw mark on the back, and it is a subject that fits in his line.
    I am not an expert on his work, but I would use the name.

    DeAnne, you didn't mention his name. Maybe on purpose, so I didn't either.

    I agree. I think it’s all the same smith and can be attributed to him. Nice piece. “In the style of” is illegal keyword spam when internet selling.

    Ah, OK.:playful: It is pretty easy for me, because most of it sounds like a Frisian (northern Dutch) name. I suspect some Hopis of being closet Frisians.:shifty:;)

    I also have this Navajo set but wondering should I sell it as a set? because technically the skull pattern on the earrings are different. The artist on this one is Allison Snowhawk Lee

    Very nice.
    True. I would sell them separately, but you can refer to the other listing and maybe they'll go to the same person anyway.

    Agree-I was referring to unattributed pieces. No need for “in the style of” on signed pieces. Again, I don’t think that phrase should ever be used-JMO

    I’d also suggest selling separately only because someone may not want both but I would so definitely refer to each listing in the other…

    Only to the straight like me but technically KWS is against rules on most selling platforms and certainly not allowed on ebay and yes people spam all day long and I report when I find it. Makes me nuts.
