● About the Item ● This is a very rare item from a truly amazing, super-vintage artist. This is a work by Deborah (Debbie) Silversmith Alessandro, the granddaughter of Kenneth Begay, who grew up with him and has been creating works since the age of 12. She was also sought after by Martha Hopkins Struever. She inherited tools from Kenneth Begay and creates works that stubbornly adhere to the techniques she learned from him, while also adding a modern essence. Furthermore, being a woman, she adds elegance to the modern feel of white Hogan, resulting in original works. Please refer to the photos for the size and weight. You will see that this is a work with a considerable presence. You will likely not see her work in Japan. ◼︎ Requests ◼︎ Due to the nature of Native American jewelry, there are charms inherent to handmade items, as well as imperfections in the craftsmanship. Also, as is the case with all silver products, there may be tarnish or minor scratches. If you are concerned, please refrain from purchasing. I am a collector, and I will not answer questions such as "Where did you buy it?" or "From which collector did you buy it?" or "How much did you pay for it?" as it causes inconvenience. I have seen and handled a considerable number of new and old Native American jewelry pieces, so I am confident in the items I am selling. ◼︎ About Transactions ◼︎ ※ Basically, I would like to sell at the listed price, but I am willing to consider a certain amount of discount. However, I will prioritize the person who purchases first, even if negotiations are ongoing. ※ Also, I am sorry, but I will block (blacklist) those who make unreasonable discounts or repeated one-sided demands. I will also block those who frequently change their names, or those who only "like" the item every time without asking questions, negotiating, or purchasing, as it makes me feel uncomfortable. ※ The same applies to those who use rude language or if I judge that the transaction will not go smoothly. ※ You are welcome to not purchase after receiving a response to a discount negotiation, but the same applies to those who do not respond at all. ※ I will refuse all exclusive listings, as they are a source of trouble. ※ Please provide [receipt evaluation] as soon as possible after receiving the item. Thank you for your understanding.
