Thank You.
I couldn’t tell it was a JP until I saw both replies.
Appreciate the help.
This isn’t Jane Popovitch altho the hallmarks are similar. This is Pacific Jewelry which was a factory that made “tourist” jewelry (not Native made). Part of the tip off is the way it is constructed in the back. This is one case where the hallmark site has it wrong.

@JW is correct, this mark is for Pacific Jewelry Company, which is often confused with Navajo artist, Jane Popovich. The circular rivets are they key that this is not a handmade item.

And I stand corrected. I made that mistake before so maybe this time I’ll remember. Thanks to you and JW.

I’m a little confused now, nothing new 
tarafawns ring shows a rivet and a conjoined JP that is agreed to be a pacific jewelry mark.
the art-amerindian site shows a conjoined JP attributed to Jane Yikaazba Popovich Navajo and is wrong?
I am seeing a small detail that sets these 2 marks apart aside from the obvious rivets.
can somebody upload an example from a Hougart book for us confused peeps?

I made this a while ago, maybe this can help some folks. In order to distinguish the Ukestine’s work from Popovich’s, you will have to look and compare overall styles. But PJC will always have rivets, prefabricated shanks, bezel cups, repeating designs, calibrated turquoise stones, etc…

When i was researching this hallmark in my free time, I would say that almost 95% of the jewelry for sale on eBay that is attributed to Jane Popovich is incorrect. It’s all manufactured by PJC!
