Hello.

Very interesting bracelet.

I wonder if that's what they call "Chip Inlay".
Typically made with turquoise and branch coral chips.

Chip inlay was concieved by Navajo silversmith Larry Dodge who was active in the 1970's at least.
He used several marks. Not sure, but yours might be one of them.

Definitely not Hopi, it's a Navajo style.
It's best not to try and sell it as NA if you don't know the tribe as it's a violation of Federal Law.

Thank you, I sell a lot of Navajo and don't know why I wrote Hopi????? I was hoping someone knew the symbol.
Your time was very much appreciated.
Best, Al
