Oh Jewelry Mavens - Plz help me id this mark?

[Leisa]

Thanks in advance!

I apologize for the rather large pic, but needed to show the detail.

Nice 40's or 50's ? Copper & enamel set.
I can't find this hallmark anywhere. Actually, I don't even know where to look.

I *think* it might be Native America, maybe?

Here's a tweaked photo, too.

I found it! I found it!

YAY, Me!!!

Bell Trading Post - In business from 1935 to the late 1980s, the Bell Trading Post (also Bell Copper) was founded in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and named after the founder Jack Michelson's wife, Mildred Bell.
The company sold Indian jewelry at tourist locations in the western US.

Nice job! Yep, these are Bell -- and one usually starts seeing this style in the 60's and later. What does the front look like?

Oh!

It's way cool & there is a matching necklace w / a different hallmark on ebay right now.
I believe my set is an earlier one - as in late 40's or early 50's.

It's not real stones. I'm convinced it's enamel.
But maybe it's faux stones.

Here ya go:

Oh! Just realized you said 60's. hmmmmmm

Super! Those are stylized 'concha' with glass stones imitating turquoise.

There are a great variety of concha styles, with some taking on a floral design. Oftentimes there is actual crushed turquoise in the glass as well. I like the brushed surface of the copper.

It's sure to be a hit!
