I don't have time to check my books at the moment. I can tell you it looks to be classic Zuni in style with that type of inlay work.

I was concerned that this could be Mexican because of the Malachite, but my first thought was native american, Navajo because it isn't intricate enough for Zuni, but Zuni is the only other possibility other than "Southwestern Inspired". Thanks for the comments. HH

It's Carolyn Pollack. There are 4 marks for the pollack stuff. This one. The rellios moon and "R". Block script CP. And finally Carolyn Pollack long form spelled out.

Great ID. You are the jewelry guru.:thumbsup: Doesn't she use Navajo and Zuni artists to make her pieces?

Paladin - it's a hoot to be able to ID something. I'm glad you found it.

Diggumup- I think youre right. Most of the Pollack stuff is attributed to different artists.

Shout out to randazzo1! I have found 3 pairs of earrings and 1 bracelet by Carolyn Pollack. I have sold this pair for $49.95 shipped and another pair for the same price! I would have never bought these other pieces if not for your help. Thank you. HH
