Oh heck no. Style is wrong for the Leekyas, and the RLB is famously shaped differently. Aside from that, the other hallmark is in Hougart’s as “Bien Mur,” a shop in Albuquerque. Jewelry by silversmiths “mostly from Sandia Pueblo.”

I agree 100%, I always take descriptions on online sites with a grain of salt.

Fascinating everyone. Interesting the dealer claims that they switched to nugget style jewelry.
This may remain a mystery!
The Ben Muir mark is not on my set of pieces but on the drop identified by the ebay seller. But drop does have the fish hook.
I always note the record of an Ebay seller—100% positive with 6,400 sales and located in Montana
I have seen eBay sellers that are absolutely dead wrong, and they still for some reason have 100% positive comments. You need to research the piece, and the artist before you believe people on eBay.
I don’t believe your pieces or the pendent were made by the Leekyas. Those are not their hallmarks.

Yes, the Bien Mur info was in response to another member. In any case the eBay piece is not related to yours, nor is yours connected to the Leekya makers.
Strike two, between AI and eBay.

I haven’t been able to find my piece with the RLB stamp but, it might have been one that I lost in a house fire so, it may be another forever mystery.
I’ll keep working on it for you.
. Thank you. Hope you find it. Sorry for your fire loss—fire and water are the worst.
