    Found today in U.K. Charity shop for £2. Three quarters of an inch high. Would these be said to be NA, Does anyone know who D.B. is? I’ve had a look but I don’t think it’s Dean Brown. I know very little about this type of jewellery. Thanks for any info.

    I found two makers who use D.B., the most likely is Daisy Brown, Navajo. The mark was first seen in 1974.

    Thanks AJ, I do think you found the correct maker Daisy Brown, the stamp looks the same. I was looking at a couple of NA makers databases and she wasn’t there.

    I’ve not been able to find the 1974 info @Any Jewelry, I can only find the worthpoint earrings.

    Thank you, I don’t see many NA pieces in U.K. Charity shops.

    We see quite a lot of SW NA jewellery here in the Netherlands, and even more in Germany.

    I would think there is quite a bit of it here but I only buy from Charity shops, car boots and jumbles. I haven’t been to an antiques fair since the 1980s!

    Neither have I, I can't walk the distances anymore. I can walk about 10 metres on a good day. I have a wheelchair, but seeing and hearing too many impressions wears me out. Too many = only a few to most people.
    But I see NA jewellery regularly on the Dutch Marktplaats selling site and on German ebay.

    Dutch antiques fairs usually have a strict rule about age of items, so NA SW jewellery wouldn't qualify anyway, unless archaeological finds.

    I’m not sure what the rules are here for Antique Fairs now. I do remember once seeing a stall cordoned off for selling fake antique ceramics all those years ago.
    I know what you mean about crowds and noise being wearing. 15 minutes in a jumble sale feels like a days work.

    The rules vary by organiser. Caveat emptor applies.
