Mystery Artist #3: “MIB”, MWB, MIR or MWR

Art Nouveau styled scrimshaw mostly linear, some stipple shading behind subject

Mystery Artist #3 - MIB

We don’t know much about “MIB” – they created this beautiful art nouveau jewelry in 1989, and that it appears to be held in sterling silver (by the STER marking on the back).  Any jewelers out there able to help me out with this?

Firs Located/Current Location – California, USA

Nice mix of stipple and line technique with the shading behind the woman done in stipple, while she and shading upon her is linear.

Does anyone know this artist?  The current owner would love to know!  Hoping we can match this up with it’s artist to get some history on the piece!
