Help with identification WS pierced by arrow

Hi folks, I just joined and am very appreciative. I’m wondering if anyone can identify this mark on a bracelet?

Welcome to Turquoise People you have a pretty amazing piece there. I am not finding anything that is an exact match. I have come across a Ella Mae White that made jewelry in this time period, 70s-80s. In Hougart’s book she is attributed with a W in the middle of an arrow, looks different than yours but could possibly been another variation. A number of silversmiths with the last name White worked for Atkinson Trading, does the piece happen to have another hallmark? an A above a T where the top of the T is the line across in the A.

Sorry, should have read the title better instead of just looking at image, was just seeing a W. Same result though, couldn’t find anything that matched the hallmark. That bottom stone might be a piece of Indian Mountain Turquoise. Almost think that with the way that bezel goes around the top stone it isn’t the original rock, but still a good looking stone.

Hi Jason, thanks very much for getting back to me. The lady I bought it from said it was by a woman “who must be 100 y.o. now”. She also had a squash blossom necklace with the same mark and the date 1947 etched in. I’m going to polish the back side and see if any other Mark’s show up. I’ll let you know. Again thanks so much for your input.

Is there an S after the W?

Yes an S or maybe a 5 but I think an S
