CHRIS TOM Navajo Ring SOLD🥲

Description

• Handsome Chris Tom Navajo Black Onyx sterling silver cluster ring (c. 1970).
• This ring has a clean design and his hallmark plus the Navajo Arts and Crafts Guild hallmark on the back of this piece.
• Authentic vintage pieces bearing the Navajo Guild’s Horned Moon mark are highly valued by collectors of historical Native American jewelry.
• The Navajo Arts and Crafts Guild was established in 1941 under the Navajo Tribal Council and the United States government’s Indian Arts and Crafts Board. Its foundation began around 1939 with a federal crafts program at Fort Wingate, New Mexico, designed to provide high-quality employment for master silversmiths and younger generations graduating from federal Indian school jewelry classes.
• The guild strictly emphasized deep stamp work, chisel work, filing, and sand-cast techniques, intentionally avoiding over-adorned pieces or heavy tourist-market elements.
