I don't know if this is the right place for this question......but here goes....

I have a matching bracelet,necklace set...made around the 30's or before...it is set in fire aggots. not turquoise. It has a hallmark of what looks like a parrot...if any one could help I would appreciate it...

Thanks

A picture might help identify the hallmark. Unfortunately, though, many Native American smiths are undocumented.

HI!
I know it's been a long time in getting the answer to this but here is some info I just found out about. Hope it is still relevant.
The parrot mark is on Hopi silver jewelry made by the artist Randall Honwisioma who worked in the Hopi village of Mishongnovi, Arizona, from before 1934 to 1962.
