14K gold turquoise and opal earrings marked "SK" - who is this artist?

Purchased in 2003 in Scottsdale and I would love to know the artist/maker. I contacted the retail store this week and they couldn’t help me with the maker, but they identified the earrings as Zuni made. They weight 8.0 grams, and are 3/4" from top to bottom. Does anyone recognize this artist?

Welcome to Turquoise People! This style of earring is usually a shop earring and the hallmark belongs to the inlayer or shop, can you possibly provide an image of the hallmark. Also, this earring was most likely inlaid by a Navajo artist.

Jason, here is the mark.

Welcome to the forums Nevada Trails.

Welcome to the forum. Although not marked Kabana, it looks like their quality work. Sorry, no help on the hallmark. Perhaps a former employee that went out on their own?

@NevadaTrails Welcome! Your turquoise inlay earrings are lovely. The gold really showcases that beautiful blue color. Sorry, I don’t have any info about the hallmark. I checked my usual resources but, didn’t find a match.
