I need help with a couple of items that I purchased from an estate. One is a NA turquoise bracelet. The initials are EL. I have a suspect silversmith but his name is usually written out. Any input on the maker and origin of the beautiful stone is appreciated. The second item is an amulet/pendant. I need help with origin and description on it. It's huge, four inches in length with a compartment. Pictures follow. Thanks in advance for any help with either.

Looks like the bracelet may be Royston turquoise?

Gorgeous poison pendant. May well be an antique used as a vinegrette holding ammonia salts for ladies who fainted.
Great silver work on the bracelet but I'm not a fan of turquoise so badly flawed. Big chipmunk of sand matrix in the middle that an experienced stone cutter should have cleaned up.
