Vintage "Collar Tips" by a Navajo artist. These are accessories unique to the Western style, designed to be attached to the tips of a shirt collar. Item Details: Type: Collar Tips (Collar Ornaments) Tribe/Style: Navajo. Traditional color scheme combining turquoise and coral. The silverwork features "leaf" and "flower" motifs, and stamp work. Materials: Metal: Sterling silver (92.5% silver content). The "Sterling" hallmark is visible on the back. Stones: Natural turquoise (blue) and coral (red). Hallmark: "SL" This is the maker's (artist's) signature. Several silversmiths with the initials "SL" exist within the Navajo tribe, but based on the style and the way the hallmark is stamped, it is highly likely that these were made by an artist such as Sam Largo, or in his workshop. Features and Condition: Design: The design, featuring turquoise and coral surrounded by silver leaves, is a classic and popular design often seen in Native American jewelry from the 1970s to the 90s. Attachment: They are secured by clamping the shirt collar between the two pieces and tightening the small screws (nuts) on the back. Weight: 12.33g for the pair. The substantial use of silver indicates that this is genuine jewelry, not an inexpensive nickel replica. G-1-0-SUMI
