    So....this was $40 including the 22" sterling rope chain. Heavy pendant signed Ria, sterling. I am thinking Navaho. Can't find the artist....not sure of the origin of the turquoise? stone. I research Ria sterling, but Ria seems to be the name/style of modern jewelry pieces, not the artist. Any info or 20220305_115555.jpg opinions welcome. Thank you. 20220305_115525.jpg 20220305_115836.jpg

    Nice. IMO definitely Ria and American. May or may not be NA but agree Navajo style and certainly Southwestern.IMO chain is a marriage.

    i’ll always come from the school that if it’s unsigned it’s Southwestern even though I’m wearing a 30’s Zuni ring, a 50’s Zuni bracelet, a 50s Navajo concha and 80s signed Zuni earrings, i’d only call the earrings NA if selling or describing for others but JMO for me.

    I contacted the man on FB and sent him the signature picture- he responded not his.
