Here is a vintage rare Perry Shorty Coin Silver necklace completely hand stamped handmade by one of the most famous silversmiths of our time. Perry’s work is highly collected and valued and he makes jewelry in the old fashioned manor with his own tools and with the use of coin silver in many pcs.

Shorty on the clasp and marked Coin Silver also. Excellent wearable and collectable condition. Measures 23.5″ end to end plus the 7/8″ center drop section. Weighs 61.40 grams.
See the photos of this nice, all original and stunning belt buckle made by this famed Navajo artisan. I have owned this since the 1980s and have never before offered it for sale. It’s 2 3/8 x 3 inches and weighs 54 grams. It takes a belt that is 1 1/2 inches wide or less. Great hand chasing with a beautiful oval cabochon of turquoise with a great matrix in it. The metal work has to be seen to truly appreciate the expertise exhibited. Great, pleasing natural patina. Nice, clear signature on the reverse. I believe that Bahe made very few of these if he made any more at all. This may be a one of a kind. There are no errant “watery” marks on the stone as the photo makes it appear. See photos for condition and view the other 400+ neat items we are offering for sale. Like everything I list, this lot is nicer than my amateurish photos indicate.
