This is a classic work by Kawai Seitoku. He is famous for his delicately painted irises. A large tsubo about 9.5" in diameter and 10" tall, has great volume and mass perfectly balanced by the painting...

This one turned out nice. All of the pieces I make are one of a kind totally hand made, so I really do not know how things will turn out until I am done. Just over 2 1/4" long and 1 1/8" wide, with a feceted garnet stone and a 22K gold accent...

Here is one similar to the previous one, slightly smaller and no stone...

Here is another one of the pieces I have made. 22K gold and fine silver with a nice moonstone. Approx...

about 1 1/4" long, I need to replace the wire on one, for pierced ears. These are on the heavy side. Hand cast and entirely hand made by me...

Another ring that I made, cast from fine silver and 22K gold, shank is sterling. Stones are a very nice moonstone, a fine red sunstone with beautiful schiller, and a star spinel. Size 11 face is about 1 1/2" long...

A typical but very nicely made and finished bracelet by Harry Bitsui. He is known for "sand cast" work in a traditional style. Hallmarked HB. Very good worn condition -- slight bend crease on the back. About 5 1/4" inner circumference PLUS a 2" gap...

This is one of the nicest early bracelets I have had the pleasure of owning. Dates from the 1920's or 1930's great silver work, very heavy hand cast and drawn carinated wire which is hand stamped. All parts handmade -- it does not look like anything was stock except perhaps the fine wire and bezel material! Marked I(?) H with a chisel, not a stamp -- I believe this is for "Indian Handmade". Also has the number AZ3A-(looks like a "P")-- if it is a "P" this is C. G...

This is a nice reposee stamped bar pin the high bezel and nice turquoise indicates a date in the 1930's or possibly earlier...

Somewhere I have the first place ribbon that Clement got for this ring from the Gallup ceremonial in 2000, I just can't find it. I bought this ring in Santa Fe in 2002. Size 8 excellent worn condition...

Charlene is the sister in law of Angie Reano Owen. She has been making mosaic pueblo jewelry for several years now with her husband and they have also won several awards. This beautiful necklace and pendant is made from individually hand cut shell beads and a small mosaic bead strung on a 24" necklace with a pendant that is 2 5/8" long made from turquoise, shell, and jet mosaic on a cut sea snail shell. A really wonderful piece...

This one is a stunner. I have had it in my private collection for 15 years, and I still love it but economics force me to sell it. Size 6 1/2, no hallmarks, but I have been told by Sotheby's in 1998 that it is probably Italian, French, or other continental European. The gems are a diamond in the head of approximately 1/3 carat about G color and SI 1 an old european cut, a Ceylon sapphire in the mouth about .25 ct, beautiful dark blue, garnet eyes, two small rubies in the head and three small ...

This is one of those pieces that is a must have for the serious collector. Please see the documentation in the images for the attribution by Martha Hopkins Struever to Juan Dedios. In addition there is the trade number AZ3AP scratched onto the back -- this is the number that C. G. Wallace used, and this bracelet is very likely lot 120 from the November 4, 1975 Sotheby's sale of the C. G. Wallace collection. The description notes turquoise stones and two carved " animal paws", and is a match f...

I purchased this from Wyndham Street Ltd. a local Asian and English antique store here in Omaha a few years ago, paid $250. The trunk is in good shape and about 21" long by about 10" by 10". Dimensions are approximate, has hand made iron latch and hinges. The age was determined by the shop, not me. ...

Gerald Lomaventema has won many awards for his beautiful sand cast jewelry, especially his bolos and bracelets. This bracelet is the top of his work. I purchased it from Sedonawolf in 2005 for $2985 plus shipping. His pieces are more expensive now. Note the carved surfaces on the front and back, pieces as intricate as this can only be cast once, then the mold is no good. The turquoise is some of the nicest gem quality #8 mine that I have seen set in a hand cast gold bezel. Hallmarked by th...
