Attempt to identify artist

Hello,

I recently acquired this bracelet in an auction lot. I checked the Native American Hallmarks on line, and I think it may be Fannie Platero, the online example has the word Sterling in a script font and this is block lettering. Any input would be greatly appreciated. I’m also curious if anyone has any idea what mine the turquoise may have come from.

Thanks.

(Hopefully I’ve attached the images correctly. I’m not seeing images in this screen.)

Looks like Paulene and Dolly Foutz: Native American Anglo Paulene & Dolly Foutz Multi Sto… - Gem

Kind of hard to say. Single letter hallmarks are notoriously difficult to figure out. It appears the purple stone (sugalite?) is popping out? It also looks like there’s some sort of substance/gunk all along the inlaid stones. One of the stones looks like something I’ve seen called “Red Skin turquoise” which is from a mine in China. And some of the other also look like they could be from a Chinese mine. But I could most definitely be wrong on that… just guessing.

IMO, it doesn’t look like Fanny Platero’s work; not sure about the other artists either.
