Dear Friends and Customers,
One Good Eye Silver is embarking on a big adventure as we prepare to move overseas. Though I am excited about our new beginning, I am also saddened for leaving after having spent almost thirty years in the US..
Until the move is completed, feel free to browse the site and email us with any questions you might have or to say “hi” but please do not try to purchase anything!
I am planning to re-configure the business and re-launch, from Europe this time, in the late Fall of 2024, if not earlier, and hope you will be patient and, once we are "live" again, honor us with your patronage.
Thank you very much for your trust all these years and for the thought-provoking conversations we have had - on jewelry, the history of personal adornment and life in general! See you again in a few months,
Margarita Poutouridou
One Good Eye Silver
Quite impressive in size and richly decorated with stampwork this vintage sterling silver and turquoise brooch is signed by Navajo silversmith Willie Shaw. I was always attracted to the magical blues and greens of turquoise and I find the so-called "spiderweb" stones irresistible. This particular one, with its big area of all-black, makes the juxtaposition of the two colors even more dramatic...
Size / Weight: 3 1/2" long; width between 1 1/4" and 5/8"; 23.7 grams
Hallmarks / Date: maker's initials "WS" as shown as well as "STERLING"; 1970s, I think
Condition: excellent vintage with impressive size, a gorgeous stone, nicely embellished, with good patina and no damage or repairs noted
Inv# 15180
