[QUOTE="drg642, post: 4525409, member: 74"]This is marked sterling and also has a crescent moon mark which I have not been able to track down with various searches.

Do you think it is of southwest origin, or something else? I ask because the heavy curling ropes is not a motif I think I have seen on NA SW jewelry. And of course any insight into the crescent moon mark would be great. I did look at the art-amerindien site and could not find it. Thanks!
