Help identifying the hallmark on this bear

Hello again, I hope your holidays were good and the new year is off to good start! I have another piece I’m trying to pin down. The hallmark is DS sterling (script), and the closest match I’ve seen is Dorothy Secatero. I’ve not found anything similar from her in my explorations. Looking for any input from those in the know! Thanks as always :slight_smile:

Hi - well, 2 years after your post about DS I’ve purchased a heishi necklace with a heavy thick bear sterling pendant stamped with D S. after hours of researching DS and this style of pendant, I’m not sure, but I think the artist could be David Sloan or Dorothy Secatero … what do ya’ll think?
