Sterling NA Bracelet

[tamrock]

I picked this up for $21.80 today. It's marked ALV X Sterling, which I can't find what that stands for. On this Etsy listing I find one similar with different motifs marked the same that sold for $133.28

Searching further I found another sterling bracelet marked ALV with the name of the silversmith Joe Delgarito coupled to it.

This has me wondering if this Joe Delgarito made the bracelet I have or maybe ALV is a firm of Navajo silversmiths.? If anything I believe I got a really good deal on this piece and it surely looks like I could sell it for more than I gave.

Nice bracelet tamrock.

Note that the second Etsy listing you linked says “This Navajo bracelet is by ALV for Joe Delgarito (probably for his shop)” but without actually saying who the maker ALV is.

It’s the mark used by the Navajo silversmith Anne Pablito Valencia.

Thanks RC. Where did you find this information that shows the mark being that of Anne Pablito Valencia

One of her more recent rings (more sophisticated cast rather than stamped I think) offered here, with the 'ALV' mark:
