Pearl Ukestine – Native American Silversmith Hallmark Guide

About Pearl Ukestine

Pearl Ukestine is a Native American jewelry artisan whose work carries a distinctive stamped hallmark, part of the wide range of individually marked silverwork that has come out of the Southwest over the decades. Hallmarking practices like this became standard across the trade as artists sought a reliable way to distinguish their work from the many similar pieces being produced across the region during the same eras.
