Thank you for your help Vicki!
Out of the 100 pieces I bought, this is one I'm keeping xD

Comment by vicki hufstetler on Sunday

Well, it's beautiful and very different in style. Does not look to be Native american. Perhaps $50 - $100.

Comment by The Eclectic Element on Sunday

I recently aquired this piece at a local garage sale for a whopping $2.00. I know it's real turquoise and sterling silver, but could anyone give me a ballpark figure on what it could be worth?

Please and thank you!

that's so cool that you have a native american doll collection!! thank you for all your time. It's so interesting isn't it??

Comment by Oralei/Artorable on May 3, 2012 at 7:56pm

Hmmm, I just had an after thought. I have a native American doll collection but I don't remember if I have  one from the Ute....I'll take a look when I can dig them out. They usually have the typical costume.

Comment by Oralei/Artorable on May 3, 2012 at 7:53pm

Hi Ellene, The piece you posted could be for the head. I couldn't find much jewelry for the Utes in the time I spent looking. I love Native American history from all tribes. Very cool that you are so 'up close and personal' with the history.

Comment by Ellene Meece on May 3, 2012 at 8:38am

This story between Nathan Meeker and the Utes - makes up our town's history. I am president at the Rio Blanco County Historical Society here and we have lots of collections and an entire building dedicated to the Cavalry and Ute Indians but no jewelry.

Comment by Ellene Meece on May 3, 2012 at 8:35am

Wow...thanks! The romgs do resemble the ones in the 'kuchi' tribal necklace. I have not seen the piece so can't tell if any have been broken off - she only sent me this photo. But, I will pass on the info and maybe see it on Saturday. The Northern Ute Tribe was living in our area originally up until 1879.

Comment by Oralei/Artorable on May 3, 2012 at 1:45am

Hi Ellene, It does look old. Just a guess but it reminds me of jewelry from India, not Native American tribal.  If so it is upside down in your image. I was looking at the way the romgs were attached. Also similar to Kuchi Gypsy Tribal-Afganistan. Can you tell if any of the rings have been broken off on the opposite side? http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Ethnic-Kuchi-Gypsy-Tribal-Necklace-Set-Belly...

I didn't spend a lot of time on the bay and based on the next link, I poked around only a little for Native American and the focus was on Ute and Navajo.

Perhaps a jewelry expert will step up. The following are a list of tribes from the previous link.

*The Apache nation
*The Arapaho nation
*The Cheyenne nation
*The Pueblo tribes X
*The Shoshone tribe
*The Ute nation X

The Comanche tribe
*The Kiowa tribe
*The Navajo tribe X

Best, C

Antique 'jewelry' relic found on ranch in NW Colorado several years ago that is being presented at our Appraisal Fair and Sale this weekend. Owner said it was rumored to be an Indian woman that lived in the original part of the cabin where it was discovered years later. Anyone have an idea of it's possible origin? Purpose?
