Does anyone know this maker?

I couldn't find this maker mark. And what can you tell me about the stones? Thank you.

 

Maybe Fritson Toledo? Altough he signs his full name, but it could be:

The stones are turquoise imo. Could be Hubei, which is also used by NA makers.

 

There are no Spanish assay marks, and it isn't like any Spanish Toledo jewellery I've seen.

 

Turquoise , possibly from the Supernova and Aztec mines at Royston.

The matrix on Marko's stones is much darker, and the turquoise is lighter.
Gorgeous stones though.

 

could just be the photo......or your eyes ! ..................

the stone at the top right and bottom right.....
same matrix , almost same shade..
the photo is a professional one , Marko's , less so.

I believe these are Royston , which ever mine they actually come from.

The stones are very light blue. I did use Google lens before I posted, there are a few Toledo Native American silversmiths.

 

It's also a surname. It's in use in the Phillippines, I knew a lady with that surname, and if it turned up in the US southwest I wouldn't be surprised.

To me these look dyed, and brown matrix usually means magnesite. (like I'm some sort of expert) The OP's look like the real deal .

I guess we can believe the GIA....

 

That's what I thought.

Turquoise can be a very saturated colour, just like most gemstones. And many types of turquoise have a brown matrix, it all depends on the stone it is found in.

 

Tags, you are allowed to post ebay links here. In fact it helps if we see them, so we can check if styles and techniques are a match.
Fritson's style is related but not exactly the same, but then again, artist's styles evolve.

 

Close up, marks are worn

 

Maybe I bought a fake Chinese something.

Thanks all. An upscale jewelry store in one of our shore towns sell out their silver by a weight combination. $10 a gram for 10 grams or less, $5 a gram for more than 10 grams. I paid $85. I'm happy.
