    I have 2 or 3 pieces I'd like to share and gain information about, but I'll split them into different threads for clarity's sake.
    This one is a Sterling Silver Brooch with a bail on a sleeve over the pin, to turn it into a pendant. (I've never seen that one, before. Both of the brooches I'll be sharing have them.)
    It has 4 different stones in different shapes on the front. It is 2-7/8" long x 1-3/8" wide.
    Besides the word "STERLING" on the back, there is an interesting figure of a "Trademark". Via Google image search, I have only found one image of this mark, also on a Cuff Bracelet on RubyLane, described only as, "Southwetern Geometric Modernist..."
    Does anyone have any info on this mark? Would you call it "Southwestern", or...?
    How about the stones? 2 are solid black, 1 solid red, the other red over grayish.

    As always, I appreciate any and all comments from the knowledgeable people here!

    komokwa The Truth is out there...!

    the mark looks like a Zuni bear fetish...... and the silver work does have a native leaning to it.....

    but that's as far as I'll go...

    It looks like what I called "vague ethnic" jewelry from the 1990s. I has influences from one or more design schools without pretending to be from any one of them.

    Agree, ethnic-inspired. It looks a similar style to your other one.
