Description

The listing, Cherokee/Navajo/Fetish Indian necklace has ended.

I got this a few years back at a pow wow, I was told the necklace was made of real animal bone ( white ). this is a pretty heavy necklace with a turtle ( mother of earth) and misc beads along with the animal bone. Now for the life of me I cannot remember what animal the bones were from I dont even know if they told me.It has no metal on it it ties around the neck. if you have any questions please ask.
i ship once a week, to listia verified address's only. if an address is sent to me through email it will be ignored and credits will be forfeited- please read listia rules before bidding.
thank you for stopping by my auction, and have a great day

please... if you have only rude thing to say please post them some were else.
I do not leave rude comments on other people's auction so I want the same for mine.
if you dont like the item then dont bid and move on. you do not need to be rude. Listia is fun and I would like to keep it that way.
as far as the comment from PGJ > there is no need to make fun of someone's back ground, were they came from, who they are. We were all put on this earth by the same maker. so because of your rudeness of others I have blocked you from all my auctions. If you do not like Indians.. then dont bid, leave, no need for your nasty comment

That is a wonderful necklace. I have 6 rescued tortoises, and the necklace (though called a turtle) would have a special meaning for me. F&W, and will bid for sure. :)

Apr 29th, 2012 at 8:19:44 PM PDT by

the meaning of turtle within the Indians is mother of earth, so you have alot of that with your 6 rescues. wonderful dear
good luck to you and happy bidding

The long beads are called bone hairpipe and traditionally were made from buffalo horn. I believe they are still available but now there are imitation hairpipe beads made from of all things - shell. I work in traditional (or try to work in ...) Indian designed jewelry and try to keep the components as original as possible. It's a lovely piece. Shame on anyone who disrespects the American Indian.

thank you so much for the information, and your support.
I have learned so many different things from my Indian friends and the people who support the heritage.
thank you again :-))

Apr 30th, 2012 at 5:46:46 AM PDT by

very cute. Do you know what the turtle is made from? I love turtles. By the way, I have Cherokee background. I'm already a fan.

Apr 27th, 2012 at 8:52:06 AM PDT by

thank you, i'm not sure what the turtle is made of, I think maybe some sort of stone cause it has weight to it, but not sure.
thank you for asking though, and your interest. :-))

This is so cute!!! I've been really getting into my native American heritage lately...I'm Cherokee and iroquois. You wouldn't believe me if you saw me....I'm white as a sheet! Lol but my great grandfather had one of the most distinct Indian noses you've ever seen and my dads moms last name was Shortsleeves. I also have been told that I have the sneakiness of the Indian lol Im really good at sneaking up on ppl lol
Oh and who said something mean about Indians??? Whoop their butt!

MUCH APPRECIATED! Just what I was looking for...an HONEST answer..I am a strong believer in honesty in all things...to my own detriment sometimes lol My frieds know, if you do NOT want an honest Opinion/Answer...don't ask me =) also, did you know that you can FLAG rude or inappropriate comments? I just flagged PGJ on yours...this reports it to Listia. IDK if it does any good, but at least we all need to try to "encourage" those who are not respectful of Listia or it's members to re-think their misguided actions..It's right below their post, and I hope everyone on this page flags it too.

May 5th, 2012 at 5:10:54 PM PDT by

Thank you for all your support,and thank you but yes i did flag and block pgj
very rude, had to go, thank you so much and good luck to you

If anyone out there is doing traditional handcraft...I would so love to have a mandela...(sp?) I bought one locally (Spokane Indian tribe - but such a mixture from the horrible old days, not sure of the artists tribe, or if they were ever (in known history) the "specialty" of any one tribe. I would be very interested in hearing from artisans...shawndykstra, if you object to this post, please delete. No disrespect intended...oh how I wish they would make an "in search of" category here...

May 5th, 2012 at 10:22:20 AM PDT by

No problem, no disrespect taken

May 5th, 2012 at 1:33:21 PM PDT by

LOVE THIS! Yes, also Indial heritage but way back...and mixed with swede LOL ! can you tell me if the beads are glass or plastic? I am sure the turtle MUST BE carved stone. I have a small, but very precious to me collection of traditional crafts, from any tribe I am lucky enough to go to visit in my travels...I went to Zuni Pueblo for my fetishes, to the Hopi Reservation for their unique double layered silver over silver (top layer has cutouts, showing black on lower), I have met every artisan I purchased from, with one exception, This is a beautiful piece!

May 5th, 2012 at 10:13:17 AM PDT by

The white are suppose to be made of animal bone, as for the smaller beads it is hard for me to tell because the necklace is quite heavy. i am sorry i do not have a def. answer for you.
just trying to be as honest as i can be. i do not want to mislead anyone. so sorry i could not be of more help

May 5th, 2012 at 1:39:47 PM PDT by

Lovely piece . Fa & Wa!

May 2nd, 2012 at 5:32:44 PM PDT by

ty very much, really a very nice piece

May 5th, 2012 at 12:00:53 AM PDT by

I have no idea what was said but I'm with you I'm Chahta and make jewelry all the time. Most of the hair pipe is made out of just bone for anything. The way you can tell if the pony beads are glass or plastic run your finger on the bead if it has a ridge it is plastic that's were they put them together. I think it is a beautiful piece. Shame on anyone who talks out of turn. fanned and watching
