"Jon McCray sterling jewelry represents highly collectible 1980s Native American mid-century and modern-era transition art. As a renowned Navajo silversmith, McCray's work holds significant cultural and market value due to its verified indigenous authenticity, elite metal stamping, and historical placement in the late-20th-century Native jewelry boom.
Many of Jon McCray's pieces are hallmarked with his signature alongside the acronym IHMSS (Indian Hand Made Sterling Silver). This specific stamp is highly critical for collectors, as it explicitly designates compliance with the Indian Arts and Crafts Act, ensuring the piece is a genuine indigenous product.
In a market flooded with imported counterfeits, the IHMSS mark anchors the item’s appraised financial value and historical relevance"
