Meet Your Appraiser: Dr. Alex
Our services are personally guided by Dr. Alex, who combines professional appraisal standards with a lifelong appreciation for Native American and Southwestern art.
A member of both the American Society of Appraisers (ASA) and the Appraisers Association of America (AAA), Dr. Alex approaches each evaluation with a commitment to research, professional ethics, and respect for cultural heritage.
Holding a PhD in Spirituality and having pursued advanced studies in antiques, fine art, and curation, Dr. Alex believes that Native American jewelry is far more than sterling silver and turquoise. Each piece is a work of art—shaped by the hands of its maker, rooted in tradition, and often carrying cultural and spiritual significance alongside a story that spans generations.
Whether evaluating a single heirloom or an entire collection, every piece is considered not only for its market characteristics but also for the story and artistic legacy it represents.
