Dead Pawn
Indian Jewelry
During my travels to
Trading Posts, I often come across some "Dead Pawn" (meaning the
owner did not make the payments on the item) jewelry. I don't know the
age of these pieces but do know that the
Trading Posts I purchase from are reputable dealers. Check back as I will add to
this page as I find things.
Dead Pawn Long
Turquoise Nugget Necklace
This is an extremely long,
30 inches, necklace of turquoise nuggets with nice matrix. Most nuggets
measure 1/2 inch across. The necklace does not have a clasp but is
finished in the traditional way with shell beads. Shell beads are also
used as spacers. Navajo made. Sold as is.
Price: $90
Dead Pawn Turquoise and
Sterling Cuff Bracelet
Front
Side 1
Side 2
This is a beautiful cuff
bracelet of 28 turquoise stones with nice matrix. Most are matched. Some
vary. The bracelet measures a little over 1 inch wide. It is 6 and
3/4 inches around with an opening of 1 inch for 7 and 3/4 inches. It is
fairly soft sterling but you really shouldn't bend bracelets of this
kind too much. Inside it is stamped Sterling with a M mark for the
artist. Beautiful stamp work. Navajo made. Sold as is. Let me know if
you need the weight.
