The color palette is deeper and moodier than the brighter blue and green material more often associated with the Royston district, giving the stone a different kind of presence — richer, earthier, and more grounded. Its size and saturated body color make it a very strong visual anchor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAround the stone, the design is organized with precision. A smooth bezel, framed by beadwire, defines the cabochon, while the cutout shadowbox gives the piece an open aesthetic and creates contrast between the shiny silver planes and the recessed negative space. The cutout work— an element often associated with Elouise Kee’s signature style — and the radiating chased lines and stampwork guide the eye outward from the center, drawing attention to the maker's skilled silverwork.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shank is built from heavy-gauge sterling silver and adorned with oversized flanking forms that give the mount a structured, almost architectural rhythm without overwhelming the stone. At 114.8 grams, it has the substance prized by many collectors of vintage Native work, with a profile that remains composed without excess.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eARTISAN NOTE:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable reference material identifies Elouise Kee as a Navajo silversmith associated with Gallup, New Mexico, and as married to Eugene Belone, whom she is described as having taught the craft of jewelry making and silversmithing. Jewelry attributed to Kee is admired for refined sterling silverwork, crisp detail, and carefully selected turquoise, including material represented as Kingman and Royston. Her work reflects a confident design voice grounded in traditional Navajo silversmithing, balancing strong form with measured ornament. Family information published in Gerald Gene Belone’s January 2025 obituary names Elouise Kee and Gene Belone as his parents, confirming that she was living at least as of early 2025. The obituary also notes that Gerald was preceded in death by his brother, Dewayne Belone, suggesting additional family loss, though such details should be treated with care beyond the obituary itself. While we have not located a definitive public source confirming her current production status, her jewelry continues to appear in recent market offerings, reflecting ongoing visibility and collector interest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePERFECT FOR:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"2999\" data-end=\"3036\"\u003eCollectors of signed Navajo cuffs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"3037\" data-end=\"3087\"\u003eTurquoise enthusiasts drawn to green cabochons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"3088\" data-end=\"3164\"\u003eCollections focused on statement silverwork\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"3165\" data-end=\"3226\"\u003eElevated Western attire, denim, black, and earth-toned wardrobes\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e✨ \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eCollectors Circle members receive a welcome offer on their first purchase. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Silver Cactus Jewelry","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44155877753029,"sku":"00013BR1NJ","price":1488.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0669\/0956\/9221\/files\/9280108.webp?v=1776524633"},{"product_id":"navajo-yei-naja-silver-dollar-mercury-dime-bead-necklace","title":"1960s-70s Native American Navajo Yei Naja \u0026 Peace Silver Dollar Coins Mercury Dime Bead Squash Blossom Necklace","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAt a Glance:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"158\" data-end=\"391\"\u003eNative American coin squash blossom necklace consistent with Navajo work\u003cbr data-start=\"195\" data-end=\"198\"\u003eBeads formed from paired Mercury dimes\u003cbr data-start=\"245\" data-end=\"248\"\u003ePeace silver dollar coin blossoms\u003cbr data-start=\"298\" data-end=\"301\"\u003eYei naja with turquoise cabochons\u003cbr data-start=\"344\" data-end=\"347\"\u003eHeavy-gauge coin silver construction\u003cbr data-start=\"195\" data-end=\"198\"\u003eA strong collector’s example of Navajo coin jewelry\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"158\" data-end=\"391\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNecklace Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eU.S. silver coin construction (Mercury dimes \u0026amp; Peace dollars)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlightly domed Peace silver dollar coins (1922–1925)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoin beads assembled on chain, likely reflecting a later restringing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTurquoise cabochons in blue-green tones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYei motif\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCast naja consistent with sand-cast construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTraditional hook-and-eye closure\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: Fine — see \u003ca href=\"javascript:void(0);\" onclick=\"openConditionGuidePopup()\"\u003eSCJ Vintage Condition Guide\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNecklace Specifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWear scale: bold matinee length per SCJ size guide — falls at the bust line\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNaja pendant: 2 1\/2\" x 2 1\/16\"\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoin blossom diameter: approx. 1 1\/2\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBead diameter: approx. 16 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal length (including clasp): 24 3\/4\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 436.9 grams \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THIS PIECE:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1107\" data-end=\"1444\"\u003eThis Native American squash blossom necklace reflects the coin-silver tradition long associated with Navajo silversmithing during the mid-twentieth century.

Although he is widely identified as a Diné\/Navajo, biographical references describe him as Chishi, Apache Clan, born for Áshiihí, Salt People Clan, reflecting Navajo clan identification rather than a separate primary tribal attribution. He spent much of his life in Alamo, with periods in To’hajiilee and Socorro, and passed away in Albuquerque on November 21, 2020.He spent most of his life in Alamo, with periods in To’hajiilee and Socorro.

Family members remembered traveling with him for work and hunting, listening to his stories along the way. That kind of life matters when looking at his jewelry. His pieces do not feel detached from the world of labor, land, and daily use.

Online examples of his signed jewelry also suggest a preference for substantial silver, bold stone presentation, and collector-scale forms, especially cuffs and other statement pieces. What makes his work appealing is that it does not need exaggerated language. The better pieces speak clearly on their own: strong silver, decisive stones, and a direct design sense that feels rooted rather than ornamental. \u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Silver Cactus Jewelry","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44157123395781,"sku":"00005BR1NJ9202","price":1850.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0669\/0956\/9221\/files\/9130249.webp?v=1776524670"},{"product_id":"navajo-turquoise-coral-squash-blossom-necklace","title":"Substantial Native American Navajo Turquoise Nuggets \u0026 Coral Squash Blossom Sterling Silver Necklace SIGNED","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"259\" data-end=\"503\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAt a Glance:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"259\" data-end=\"503\"\u003eSubstantial Native American turquoise \u0026amp; coral squash blossom necklace\u003cbr data-start=\"187\" data-end=\"190\"\u003eStylistically consistent with Navajo bench work\u003cbr data-start=\"262\" data-end=\"265\"\u003eTurquoise consistent with Kingman material\u003cbr data-start=\"304\" data-end=\"307\"\u003eBead strand with extender\u003cbr data-start=\"383\" data-end=\"386\"\u003eSigned collector example with strong visual contrast and presence\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNecklace Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e.925 sterling silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTurquoise nuggets in saturated shades of blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRed-orange coral accents\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavy-gauge sterling construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBench-made beads strung on double-wire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHallmarked by the silversmith - artisan under active research\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHook-and-eye closure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: Very Fine — see \u003ca href=\"javascript:void(0);\" onclick=\"openConditionGuidePopup()\"\u003eSCJ Vintage Condition Guide\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNecklace Specifications: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWear scale: Statement matinee length per SCJ size guide, adjusted to opera length with the extender\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLargest turquoise: 5\/8\" x 1\/2\" (bezel to bezel)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNaja: 2 1\/2\" x 2 7\/8\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlossom length range: 1\" - 1 1\/8\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBead diameter: 8-9 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal length (including clasp): 20 3\/8\" (approx. 25 5\/8\" with the chain extender)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 199.9 grams\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THIS PIECE:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"610\" data-start=\"203\"\u003eThe composition of this squash blossom necklace is built around contrast and proportion, with the naja as the focal point, carrying alternating turquoise nuggets and corals.

Each stone is set in a smooth bezel, framed with twisted wire, and distributed across a raised outer plate, creating a subtle sense of dimension over the solid inner cuff. Deep stampwork continues through the shoulders and out to the terminals, extending the visual interest well beyond the central setting.

Even in late-twentieth-century work, producing matched beads of this scale required careful forming, soldering, and individual stamping — a demanding process that highlights the Curleys’ superior artistry.

His path into jewelry began at Northern Arizona University, where a metalsmithing elective redirected his studies toward silversmithing.

Yazzie has cited the storm-pattern geometry found in his mother’s and grandmother’s Navajo weaving, along with Navajo spiritual teachings, as formative sources. Rather than relying on heavy surface ornament, his designs favor measured spacing and deliberate stone placement, where the pattern is created by the stones themselves. When used, decorative elements such as stamping are applied with restraint and precision, supporting the form rather than dominating it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eHe worked primarily in sterling silver, sometimes incorporating gold, and preferred fine turquoise alongside coral, sugilite, lapis, and opal.

The stones are arranged in concentric rings that create a rosette-like structure, drawing the eye inward and then back across the surface. Color shifts from softer sky-blue to more vivid blue, and the contrast against the darkened silver gives the brooch brightness and depth without overwhelming the form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2044\" data-end=\"2478\"\u003eStone identification is based on visual assessment rather than laboratory testing. A longtime former Southwestern trading post owner familiar with vintage turquoise identified the stones as likely Persian turquoise based on dome, appearance, and period context. While Iranian turquoise is often associated with clear sky-blue material, documented examples can also show spiderweb matrix, so matrix alone does not exclude that reading.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2480\" data-end=\"2786\"\u003eUp close, the individuality of each stone becomes more apparent. The cabochons are not mechanically matched; slight differences in dome height, spacing, and matrix create a natural rhythm across the surface. The silverwork keeps the composition grounded, so the piece feels resolved without becoming rigid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2788\" data-end=\"2975\"\u003eThe brooch is not stamped sterling, which aligns with earlier Native American jewelry made for trading-post circulation, where purity and maker marks were not always applied consistently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2977\" data-end=\"3217\"\u003eTaken together, the Turpen-associated mark, hand-built cluster layout, older pin assembly, and overall construction place the brooch most comfortably in a mid-century trading-post context, likely postwar rather than later studio production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2234\" data-start=\"1822\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eATTRIBUTION NOTE:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"3381\" data-start=\"3168\"\u003eBy the 1930s, travelers were already encountering Southwestern jewelry along the railroad corridors and emerging highway routes, with the Fred Harvey network helping introduce these forms to a national audience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"3780\" data-start=\"3388\"\u003eIn Gallup, trading posts operated alongside that growing interest but served a different role. When Tobe Turpen opened his shop in 1939, the store functioned not only as a retail counter but as part of a working exchange. Silversmiths arrived with finished pieces, obtained silver and stones, or accepted requests for specific forms, while the final decisions were still made at the bench.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"4234\" data-start=\"3787\"\u003eIn that sense, the rail and highway trade broadened appreciation for Southwestern jewelry, while Gallup trading posts helped sustain the production networks behind it.

The pendant settings feature substantial bezels, twisted-wire borders, stamped side accents, and a dark oxidized ground that sharpens the blue of the stones.

Professional review has produced two plausible readings: Kingman turquoise and high-grade Hubei Province material. Kingman was considered the more likely identification in one professional review, based on the necklace’s construction context and the understanding that Ben Sandoval is not known to work with imported material. Other turquoise specialists noted visual characteristics consistent with high-grade Hubei. Because no mine paperwork or laboratory report accompanies the necklace, SCJ presents the stones as high-grade spiderweb turquoise visually consistent with Kingman, with the Hubei comparison disclosed as part of an open, evidence-led identification.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHallmark \u0026amp; Maker Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis necklace is signed BEN.S and stamped .925 on the reverse of one pendant.

The cabochons bring saturated blue-green color and height, while the hand-fabricated flowers, chased leaves, and curling wirework give the bracelet a bright botanical character rather than simply serving as decoration.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe turquoise remains vivid in indoor light. The green areas deepen into rich forest and foliage tones, while clear sky-blue stays visible near the bezels and stone edges. In stronger light, the blue opens further across the surface, brightening the cabochons and giving the stones a livelier, more expansive presence. The two stones are visually matched not because they are identical, but because they move together in color, temperature, and overall character.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe construction supports that same sense of lift and openness. The high-set stones create the bracelet’s bold profile, but the open multi-band shank keeps the cuff from feeling dense or overbuilt. Leaves tuck beneath and around the cabochons, wire stems curve through the open framework, and silver drops add small points of brightness against the oxidized recesses. The silverwork is strong enough to carry the scale of the stones, yet open enough to let the floral design breathe.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe flowers are especially compelling. They are not flat stamped motifs, but built silver forms with raised petals, chased interior lines, rounded silver-shot centers, and leaves that curl away from the surface. Each element feels individually shaped, giving the cuff the presence of a sculptural floral piece rather than a standard two-stone bracelet with added ornament.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe result is a statement cuff with unusual balance: vivid turquoise, dimensional floral silverwork, and a construction that feels open, strong, and carefully composed. The stones draw the eye immediately, but the flowers and layered build reward closer study from every angle.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe turquoise is identified as consistent with Turquoise Mountain material based on visual and contextual assessment. No laboratory documentation accompanies the cuff, so SCJ presents the mine identification as an evidence-led working attribution rather than a provenance guarantee.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHallmark \u0026amp; Maker Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bracelet is signed MARCUS and carries a sterling mark. SCJ identifies the maker as Marcus Chavez, a Navajo silversmith from Shiprock, New Mexico, on the Navajo Nation. Reference examples for Chavez more commonly show the fuller MARCUS C signature, while this cuff is stamped MARCUS only. Even so, the letter formation shows a notable visual relationship: the MARC portion rises slightly, while the U and S sit offset on a downward incline, a pattern also seen in Marcus Chavez reference marks. This supports presenting the bracelet under Marcus Chavez while noting the shortened hallmark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublic retail references and comparable market examples show that pieces stamped MARCUS and MARCUS C share a related construction vocabulary, especially the pairing of large natural stones with hand-fabricated silver flowers and leaf forms. Current market examples also show Chavez working across a wide range of materials, including Royston District, Kingman, Bumble Bee, Wild Horse, and Rainbow moonstone, reinforcing the stone-forward character of his known work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe silverwork on this bracelet is notably more dimensional and sculptural than many currently circulating pieces under the full Marcus Chavez hallmark, suggesting a more ambitious build — possibly an earlier or higher-grade example. SCJ presents the maker identification confidently in the listing while preserving the hallmark nuance here for transparency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e✨ Collector inquiries are welcome.
