I inherited several pieces of Native American jewelry from my Grandparents in 1989. Some are stamped with the artist’s initials. Could you help me identify them?

Item #2:

Item 2 and 3 appear to be made by Roy Vandever, Navajo. He passed in 2009
Regarding item 1, some quick research brought up no identical hallmarks, but in two different places I found hand etched hallmarks of “BMc”, one of which was said to be attributed to a Bernice McDonald. The descriptions were for sales of bracelets from private individuals and thus, not reliable, especially since a reverse search of Bernice McDonald turned up an entirely different hallmark.
Hopefully someone with more resources will be able to help!
Beautiful jewelry by the way!! 
I LOVE that coral cuff! Gorgeous and sentimental pieces. How lucky you are!
Thank you for your research!!
Thank you!!! BTW… do you collect Rae Dunn?
Thank you!!! I think of my Grandma whenever I wear it. Brings back happy memories.
If you mean Rae Dunn as in the pottery, I do not although I love the clean simplicity of it. Ironically, in my husband’s family, he, his father, grandfather, nieces and nephews all have some version of Rae, Ray, or Raye in their name. No relation to the potter that I know of!
I love that necklace!!
Thank you! The picture doesn’t do it justice. It’s gorgeous.
