I try very hard to find antique & vintage sterling silver jewelry and even harder to clean it, research it, photograph it, describe it and ship it once its sold. I guess all other dealers are like that too!

The best place that I've found online for STerling Silver marks is at Online Encyclopedia of Silver Marks, Hallmarks & Makers' Marks. Its just a great site to go to!

I truly love Native Indian Made items, especially the jewelry, and the baskets and the pottery!

I do list items ocassionally on Craigslist especially in the Houston, Tx area!

I do have some things on The Find!

I've thought about having a shop on Yahoo or Amazon but so far I haven't done anything about it. I just have the shops at ECRATER and BISI!

I strive to offer my customers affordable vintage jewelry!

I remember as kid, living in New Mexico going to a Navajo shop near one of the reservations and just being awestruck by some of the jewelry they had made!

Native American Jewelry is unique and wonderful especially the silver pieces. The Cherokee considered silver to be a spiritual metal!

Hopefully, I will be able to eventually add some authentic cherokee jewelry to my shop!

While I am a registered Cherokee, I feel a part of all tribes!

I've always wanted to have my own southwest silver gallery and now I do!

A southwest affinity for handmade Native American jewelry has always been a part of what I'm about. My grandmother was full blood Cherokee and taught me to be proud of my Indian Heritage.

I think I'm getting this now, not everything is about being on ebay or amazon or another big name site, sometimes its about being on a little spot like mine Sterling Keeper at BISI!

Life is just a ruby lane filled with jewels and lots of goodies!
