    Hi. New here! I just inherited a few pieces of jewelry from my grandmother and wanted an idea of what it may be worth. I live in Southern California.

    Not to worry. You're doing fine. Now, those knowledgable about this type of jewelry will want to know if there are any marks. You'll want to take a careful look at each piece. And, if you see a mark, take and post a close-up, in focus photograph.

    None are marked with anything at all. Not sure where that leaves me. Lol

    Of course there are some exceptions, and some artists adopted the use of a hallmark in the early 20th century. However, those instances are very rare and we do not see a surge in Native American hallmarks until the 1970s and beyond.

    Definitely older. Might even be pre war. Whatever you do, no polishes. Get a Sunshine cloth and gently clean them. That shadow set ring is proper old craft.

    Welcome to the forum. Lovely old pieces, all silver and turquoise.
    They could be Navajo, but it is difficult to say for certain. My guess is 1950s-60s, but reader can probably give a more definitive answer. She has been tagged.:)

    I tried to crop this photo to get less hand and fabric, but the bracelet is still too small. It looks really beautiful though, and the maker could be recognized by the specific details.

    Just got back from Mexico City and Oaxaca. My head is still spinning from all the amazing things I saw. Nice pieces OP and IMO it’s a good thing that none are marked. Agree with older and Navajo. My fave is also the single stone green bracelet. I would guess the green bracelet and the green ring to be a bit older than the other two but mid century is probably right in there. Sorry I can’t add any real info other than they all are collectible.
