Im getting …Andxxx Sandoval Nez or Ahoy (lol)…maybe but maybe if you get from a few angles we can get it better!
Well I still feel lost but
I am pretty sure
The first name is Something like Andrew or Andre, the second name is something like Yonhawef or Yonkawef
And the third one is Ahoz or Ahez or ?
The symbolic mark cant make out the numerator but the denomenator looks like a Z for Zuni maybe
What do you see?
Ohhhh I forgot…since you can see it whats your best guess at the name just for help…then I’ll do some googling!
Side thought maybe Alvarez is the last name
He has had a few different hallmarks over time it looks like 
cool find! The wolf could be from an additional artists hallmark for the lapidary work…back to google! i also found this which is kinda changing the rest of the story…not a good ending to this search…Mans pleads guilty in fake Indian jewelry case

So I talked to him and he is a nice guy you where right he remember the ring the stone is called gold canyon turquoise very collectible the ring is made with Argentium silver I thought it was white gold so that is a plus the wolf bust was a old hallmark. He is making me a 2 oz ring with a old collectible stone in it how awesome is that? Ask him about the case all so and from hearing his side it sounds like he just got caught up in a mess. But he is a awesome master craftsmen they can never take that. Dude thanks for your help I will send you new pic in a few weeks when new ring gets here.
