    Navajo Silversmith Tom Rafael TR Hallmark
    Hello. I am buying a silver ring with a TR hallmark on it. It has turquoise, coral and bear claw on it. The artist is said to be Tom Rafael, or possible Rafel. The only information I can find on him is that he is deceased and was married to Mary Rafael who was also a silversmith. Does anyone have information on Tom Rafael and confirmation on his hallmark?

    I might like to collect more of his work.



    Thanks for your help! Peace to you.

    Oh, wait--Tonya June Rafael is his granddaughter, not daughter--sorry.
