Any info on this type of jewelry, age, tribal affiliation or artisan would be appreciated. Hallmarks are Sterling and a large Y. Thanks.

Hello.

That's probably Yazzie Johnson, a Navajo silversmith.

That doesn't look like the work done by Yazzie Johnson. Single letter marks are extremely hard to ID and I've been finding them a lot on Southwestern pieces made to look NA.
