Does anyone know the makers mark or if the stone is royston?

trying to identify my new find.

Hallmark looks like Ramon Albert Jr, but item doesn’t look Hopi. The leaves don’t look like the usual NA made leaf. But what do I know?

Stone looks like it could be natural in the photo, and is the primary focus of the bracelet design, but is cracked which renders its value close to nil . Leaves are machine made. ‘Hallmark’ looks as if it may be comprised of two readily available block letter stamps, Shank could be handmade or a ‘one of many’ casting typically used in a production setting.

Without real provenance, which in this case the hallmark does not establish, one can say it’s a (likely) sterling bracelet with a cracked turquoise stone setting, hand crafted with machine made leaves, and possibly cast shank, of unknown origin.

^Very Hopi style work, very unlike the bracelet shown. I get the similarity of the conjoined letters (though absent an accompanying symbol) but to me the question is still open.
