Curious about the artist that made these earrings, I believe these are made by a zuni artist but can’t figure out the signature on these, is this inlay type of turquoise and coral also? Any help appreciated on identifying this

One earring looks like it says AZ789, which would mean it’s a code that the artist would use to inventory his jewelry, rather than a signature. The blue is turquoise and the red is coral, and yes these would be considered a type of inlay
Yes that’s what I see, thanks
Have a feeling AZ might actually be a abbreviated signature, I’ll start looking into that possibly
Looks like it’s inscribed AZ 7 BA, it’s not the AZ 789 like you thought it was, I’ll keep searching, I don’t give up easily, I just took a better picture in hopes of finding out this artist these Zuni earrings
Anyone have any ideas about these? I may never find out but I have fun researching and hopefully figuring hallmarks out eventually…
