Looks to be Rebecca Begay in a style of casting called Tufa, hence the T in the signature.

It's not marked Sterling. Wouldn't that be a good indication maybe it's a fake? A reproduction?

No problem at all, I'm always glad to be able to help out and I love the hunt of figuring these things out. As far as it not being marked sterling, none of the items by this artist seem to be marked for metal content, which is actually very common with Native American artists.

As for it not being marked sterling, I have it a ring not marked sterling that is. According to a couple of silversmiths that I have talked to about it, this means could mean one of two things. Either it predates the late 60-early 70 period when the marks became required or it was produced for personal use. Either way it is an lovely bracelet.
