This superb Native American made, relatively heavy silver cuff (BB87) with wonderfully matched, deeper blue turquoise oval and round stones and silver shot is, as you should now guess, from the estate of Denver’s late Billy Branch.

With almost every newly listed item from the late Billy Branch’s collection of Native American Indian jewelry, any viewer will, as with this one (BB82), be frequently impressed with the beauty and quality of his selections. This truly magnificent example of the Zuni needlepoint style is simply stamped ‘sterling’ on one of its three supporting framework bars. In used but overall very good condition (I count seven cracked and/or lightly chipped turquoise cabs, all of which are securely held), and ...click for details

Here’s an eye-catching assortment of Native American necklaces (TEH 174, 192, and 201 thru 210) from the estate of the late Chester Howard. As founder of the Colorado Mineral Society in the 1930s, one shouldn’t be surprised that Howard would identify at least a few of the turquoise varieties that make up the beads in these strands: Red Mountain, Ruffan Mine, McGinnis Big Blue, and Pilot Mountain. In addition to turquoise, the beads in the necklaces include: shell, pipestone, varieties of glass, ...click for details

Beautifully inlaid with turquoise, mother of pearl, jet and malachite, this Native American made silver buckle (BB138) was noted by its late owner, Billy Branch of Denver, to be ‘rare pawn’.

Believed to date into the mid-20th century and in overall very good conditon, the buckle has some minor scratches from wear, and some hardly noticeable loss of inlay. It is signed on the back in script ‘P. & Q. W. QUAM, Sr.’ Great for ...click for details

Mounted on a silver, three-bar bracelet frame, the large roped medallion with gorgeous, deep blue petti-point turquoise (BB81) has the scratched initials on its back ‘EY’ (possibly one of the Navajo Yazzie family?). In overall very good condition, with six of the stones chipped and/or cracked from wear (but none loose in their settings), this fine Native American made bracelet was noted to be ‘pawn’ by its previous owner, the late Billy Branch of Denver, and is believed to date into the middle o ...click for details

Dating into the latter part of the mid-20th century, this 5 1/8” tall silver kachina bola slide (BB199) is from the estate of the late Billy Branch of Denver. Unstamped, but nicely detailed and inset with deep sky-blue turquoise cabs, the slide is in excellent condition and was noted by Branch to be ‘dead pawn’. Although the braided leather string tie shows obvious wear and would probably be best replaced, the long silver cones at its ends are in very good condition and tipped with decorated, tw ...click for details
