I admire the amount of research put into the video and the accuracy. What trubles me is that instead of staying focused on indigenous people the focus shifts to industry. Native people have a history since time immemorial therefore it is not difficult to make a five minute video about this culture. Once again not trying to spread hate I just want to encourage learning on topics seldom discussed many times.
I always love to know native American cultures.🥰🏞I also love there jewelry, so beautiful.📿🐚The turquoise gemstone is very pretty too.💎
,a
I'm Native American and me and my family are jewelry makers and my family has been working with jewelry for some time now my family also has what is left of my sacred jewelry
PS. I will also share with whom ever is reading this the 1genaration of my family starts with my mom and aunt my mother is a drug addict and we tried everything to help her but nothing will work it is a sad truth that I live with everyday but it is ok I have never once thought my mother as my mom because she abandoned me and my sister at early ages and I was raised by my grandparents and I love them for that.
Pps. how we lost some of my family jewelry my so called mother stole it out of my grandparents room and sold it for drugs. we tried everything to get them back but some we lost for good which is kinda sad but we still have the most important family jewelry with us and my grandparents said it is ok just leave it we can make more if we have to
But. Your story make me feel so sad...it,s sad that your mom cannot let go drugs and I am sad that bc of that your family has lost precious jewel
ry
I wish you and your family from my soul that your mom will stop her addiction and your family will be united again 🥰
I own a few south western native silver and turquoise pieces. One is a ring, the other is a cuff with 5 set turquoise and I absolutely love them. I have a few other pieces, but they're not native made. It's almost like an addiction, once you get one, you need another...and the craftsmanship is number one, same with ornate quality..simply stunning.
I love all the shades and different variations of turquoise especially when paired with sterling silver. Just beautiful.
She crushed it! 💯
Great video, and so close to home (I live in the Four Corners area, on the reservation). Thank you for the upload :)
I like all types of turquoise as long as it’s “the real deal”!
Nice informative video
Sleeping Beauty turquoise is by far the best! It has a quality of color that when placed next to the skin, it almost glows! Other turquoise looks dull in comparison. You can spot Sleeping Beauty from across the room! It seems to come alive next to skin! Since the mine stopped production, it’s price has soared & every gem hunter is scrambling to find a replacement source that can compare, to no avail! It is almost matrix free, making it one of the cleanest turquoise on the planet. It’s color is equally blue & green in saturation which makes it such a true turquoise color & probably why it has such an electric glow! Truly, my favorite!
Seriously cool squash Necklas, and I love to learn culture. Thank you Natalie ❣️ 🙌🙏 you are truely one my inspirations!!💜 Smashed & shared & commented
I recently received a bunch of jewelry accessories , I would love to find a buyer. Enjoyed your documentary.
Turquoise is literally my favourite gem ever
They do make beautiful piece's I love the Apache T necklace
I love all turquoise and don't yet have a preference, but I will say that I LOVE the background on Native American Jewelry and would love to learn more. I love when there's story and background to pieces and a deep, rich history.
I once when to a cultural Native American celebration in New Mexico for my sister's friend. There was a lot of turquoise there.
Watching from El Paso, TX
I like the dark vein colors that’s in Turquoise
I have alot of this jewelry, just acquired in a estate sale, trying to learn about it. Thanks
Good video!
Very nice video. I have borrowed very interesting books from the public library about Native American Culture and Southwest Indian Art and Culture. I have also bought some authentic jewelry pieces in Here in Florida (my primary home), and in Colorado, that is my second home since 5 years ago. I am from Lima - Perú, and I love Native American Culture. I love America 🇺🇸!!
Still love seeing someone with the regalia full of seashells at mawiomi makes me feel so happy
I live near Philadelphia. Turquoise is not a thing in this part of the country. It is for me. I have always been drawn to the stone. I love all colors but do find the blue with a matrix of host stone appealing. I have three rings, 3 cabs, several pendants, cuff links and two bracelets. I wish I had a connection from the southwest.
Nice one!
thanks
This was pretty cool.
The horse shoe shaped pendent is called a Naja (No Ha).
It is often sand casted.
I prefer the more greenish blue turquoise
I like the green and blue green.
I'm going to buy a squash blossom necklace real soon.
I love all turquoise but I prefer the one with matrix like the one I am wearing...shades of blues and green with brown matrix Cooper and black matrix iron...I like the squas blossom style necklaces...
I prefer the robin’s egg blue and have several small pieces from Native artists that I get when I go to pow wows. I would looooove to get my hands on a squash blossom necklace but they are hella expensive.
I live in AZ, Bisbee turquoise is also highly sought after turquoise. I love all colors but find myself drawn t the light green I especially love the matrix patterning. There is a "White turquoise " that is referred to as "White Buffalo turquoise" circulating here at the jewelry and gem & mineral shows that is growing in popularity is it really turquoise?
White Buffalo turquoise sounds amazing!!!
Recent research suggests that true White Buffalo - White Buffalo 'Turquiose' (from Nevada) is predominantly dolomite with additional aragonite and calcite. There are White Buffalo simulant gems also available but they are generally magnesite.
@@xxblackrose87xx The jewelry I've seen here is beautiful.
@@gems Thank you. It really makes some stunning jewelry!
@@Me-ev4ix White Turquoise? Now I would love to see that. Sounds amazingly beautiful!!
I have a Indian chief head ring that was given to me. It's from the 1940's. It's consider to be the first generation of biker rings and it was sold by Native Americans for tourists. I'm not even into Indian stuff all that much. But it's really cool.
Indian necklace is beautiful
Native Americans used copper about 5000 BCE and gold 750 BCE for art pieces then after the Spanish French English Dutch europeans they began to use silver in the 1600's.
Wow I wanna find turquoise
I prefer the robin egg blue
"Sidenote": an actual note, sideway's
❤️❤️❤️
The turquoise is beautiful
It waz in pocahontas
Where do I get some function beats real stones
I love it all but sleeping beauty is prob the prettiest in my opinion!
We're they near oceans I see red coral where do they come from
Natives who lived near the coastlines made those types of jewelry before they were depopulated and put on reservations.
I wanna know of ghost beads
The blue
blue turquoise represents man, green woman
I wanna get some real turquoise cause how lite dyed
I don't care, as long as it's real! And rock spiders sound pretty cool to me.
You would probably like Effie Calavaza's pieces, she is a pretty famous Zumi artist, she went the the supreme court to get her work copyrighted,she has a cute little snake in most of her pieces.
Green with matrix
Greenish blue… my choice all day
Blue sleeping beauty
There was Lots of gold in the Americas, which was mostly brutally stolen.
Not a princess...
She’s a Goddess not a princess for making beautiful turquoise.
You even didnt mention Persian turquoise which is the most famous turquoise in the world.
And thats not spider turquoise its spider web turquoise.
Да уж
🙃 why is it when ever the subject of native americans is brought up on yt the drums and chanting starts
🧐👸👌😷
were ?? no are. **
your screaming haha
Iranian Turquoise is the best in the world in my opinion.
As if you couldn’t find a Native to present the content....
Who cares about nationality when she has knowledge and passion? Do you not know wisdom and knowledge come in different forms and sources?
I'm 42 and my 8 year old has said some very wise things..
mga native yan
Please young lady soften your time just a tad.
12,000 years ago? Not really, they learned how to make jewelry from Europeans.
