Can anyone tell me more about this piece

I need help. I found this piece going through some old boxes. My mom gave it to me over 20 years ago. I don’t have any documentation but there is a stamp that I cannot make or or locate. Any ideas? It was purchased in New Mexico but I have no idea where. I’d just like to know more about it and the value of it. I’ve done a silver test on it and it is sterling and weighs about 17 grams.

I can’t make out the signature. Did you test the beads, they look plated? It depends on the beads, quality of turquoise (don’t see that very well in pictures), I would think around $450. This is something similarish, http://turquoise-jewelry.net/product/navajo-artist-k-spencer-six-stone-turquoise-necklace-in-antique-setting/ with a better bead and turquoise.

I agree this looks plate. If it’s plate it’s not worth very much.

seriously, you guys…you’re incredible!..how are you able to tell that it’s silver plate vs. sterling? I’d be the sucker that’s born every day. duh

The seam on the beads is going the wrong way, that was my first red flag :triangular_flag_on_post:
