Native American silversmith

I have a lovely turquoise and silver watch band which is signed "Whirling Wind." Does anyone know anything about this artist? I think it's a Navaho piece. Thanks

If this piece is genuine "whirling wind" it is quite valuable. It would be Navajo. Find an appraiser that is an expert in South Western jewelry. I did see some listings on EBay about whirlwind jewelry, you might want to check that out to see if it is similar.

Have you done any research yet? Your library might have books on South Western jewelry. Good luck finding information and congrstulations on owning a beautiful piece of whirling wind.
