I believe the turquoise ring may be Eagle Boy. I have one with the EB logo in the inside middle, with the Eagle on one side and Boy on the other, which was purchased in the 60's from a indian jewelry store in West Virginia. It has a clear stone in the middle and turquoise beading and an outside design similar to marcascite. I paid a considerable amount for it at the time. I haven't seen one similar since then.

It could be Ernest Begay if the ring is old. However, I do not know how Ernest signs his work but that would be easy to find out. Hope this helps.
