Hi There - Some Helpful Links

[flipping_treasures]

Let me be the first to write on this board and welcome those that have come here looking for information about a piece that they may have or a general question about jewelry.  Since this is a new board, please be patient as it may take some of the people in the know about jewelry a bit to find this place.  In the mean time here are some great links to some information that you may find useful in your quest about your piece.  I deal mostly with costume jewelry, but there are some people around that know about fine jewelry as well.

Some maker's marks you may be looking for can be found here: https://www.illusionjewels.com/research/costumejewelrymarks.html 

Great information can be found here about all aspects of jewelry:

And here is a site that may help you identify that hang tag on your piece:

BUT a word of warning ... the more you find out about your pieces the more likely it is that you will become addicted, like the rest of us.

Again, Welcome.

Not sure how this one came about - but it's about time! I will definitely post here as both a user seeking information and a provider of information from my own reading and research.

Woot!

Thanks for posting these links. The first link doesn't work for me, I keep getting error messages. Please verify that one if you don't mind. I've bookmarked the other two already.
Thanks again!

There is an extra space at the end of that first link, which somehow gets tranlated into two characters at the end of the URL.

Here is the working link:

Don't know what the exact link is -- but you can google
More Native American Jewelry Marks --
to identify the makers of many NA jewelry pieces, usually hallmarked with initials.
Oh -- and if the piece is marked 925, it is not Native American -- it can be Mexican, Thai, European or American -- but not Native American. NA use the word Sterling, not the number 925 to mark their pieces. Sometimes they do not mark them at all.... a few pieces might say Hand made by Native AMericans.
