Pillow bracelet, signed MD

Hello again- wonder if anyone has any info on these beads. I did re-string them as they broke, so ignore that please- I love them and wear them often- (came from Tubac @Ziacat!!)

What do you call the design, and Navajo or?
Thanks for looking :slight_smile:

The Mary Dayea hallmark font doesn’t exactly match the one in the first post. The pillow beads hallmark is pretty much a serif font, while the M Dayea is closer to sans serif.

The M’s and the D’s are built differently. The M of M Dayea’s mark is thicker at the top and tapers toward the base, whereas the other one is thin at the top and slightly swells toward the base. The two D’s are different, too, with the pillow example having more pointy detail, as you see in a serif D.
