Vintage Native American Bisbee Turquoise Squash Blossom Necklace
Carl Luthey was a large producer of Native American jewelry in the 60s and 70s and employed a number of Navajo artists, among them Luke Billy Yazzie and Louise & Ramone Platero. The pieces created there were marked with the Luthey shop mark, a stick figure made up by the letters CWL. Occasionally they also included the mark of the Native artist that created the piece.
