Hello Rosa! What a nice comment thank you for stopping by & for watching my video. Yes, you like turquoise too? It's such a stunning jewel and the colors are so radiant. Have a nice week!
Oh you are too kind Nimesh! Thank you so much for watching my Squash Blossom video. I saw a lady in the grocery store the other day when I was wearing it, she said she had a few necklaces like this she wants to sell. Looks like I may add to my collection. lol Have a nice day! ;-)
Hello Janice! Wow! Thank you for telling me that's so neat. Was the lady you bought it from and individual owner or like a vintage shop? What year? If you're up to it, I'd love to see it. You can email me a photo: mishawna@mishawnaromerohair. com. No pressure. Also, head to your local library and there's tons of books on vintage southwest turquoise jewelry. Thanks for watching ! 😊
Hello Lifeisshortby! That is so cool. I wonder what town you were in. And do your parents still have the necklace, that would be so neat to see. Must be a beautiful timeless piece. Jewelry like that never goes out of style. Thank you for watching my video!
Love your video...Is it true that some naja necklaces were not signed because it was made to be kept in the family. Most artist were anonymous. Can you verify that?
Hello Sylvia! Thank you for watching my video. To my recollection, yes, I do think that was one of the reasons, the Native artists did not sign their work. It has been over a year since I made this video, and it may be worth it to you to read this book I sited in my references: 'Hallmarks of the Southwest, Barton Wright c.1989' I checked it out at my local library, and it deals solely with the hallmarks of the Native artists of the Southwest. It was a fascinating book, and i seem to remember it was there that I learned of artists not signing their work for various reasons. Additionally, when I got my necklace appraised, the Antique appraiser (He was a specialist in Native American Indian Jewelry), he used just this book to appraise my piece! In addition to his expertise and knowledge. He owns an amazing store in Vista California called: 'The Indian Store' 1950 Hacienda Dr, Vista, CA 92081. It's definitely worth a trip if you're ever out this way. His name is Ken and he's super helpful and knowlegable. Enjoy, and let me know if you end up reading that book. 🙂

They are not Native American Indians. They’re Native Americans.
I am Apache and have no problem with the descriptor Indian.
