Hi, this is for a small lot of some nice jewelry items I have collected. The 1st is a very nice Bolo tie, the silver purity is unmarked , it looks like sterling & that would make sense but there is no mark , this piece is signed TM ( T over M on this one ) may be an earlier Terry Martinez piece ?? but his signature is a T next to an M on pieces I have looked at. It is very well done & the clasp on the back is spring loaded for adjustment, marked Bennett , pat pend.,,, I think also the clasp may date from the 1960's, but may or may not date the making of the actual piece. The end pieces also look to be silver & the leather is of very good quality. Carnelian or coral & turquoise stones. Similar pieces on ebay looked to range in the $100 - $250 range with some more & less, there is a very similar piece from the 60's at $250 obo. Next is a very nice, older silver cross with turquoise stone in the center. This looks to be an earlier sand cast piece & I have not tested the metal for purity but it looks & feels like solid silver.it is unmarked. Very nice feel about this one, good weight & well made. I think Navajo made & it has a sense of age about it.It looks to have file marks on the back , to flatten the back when it was formed, the stone is odd shaped & set in ,in a pretty basic style. There is a very similar Navajo cross on ebay now
