I think these (first 3 pix) are tourist items because they had old pricetags for $1.90. Yes I paid more than that. I found the necklaces at a junk store in St. George, Utah. The lovely UTU was found in Iowa.

In the 1920's loomed necklaces were popular - buy the kit w/beads and instructions. Some wonderful examples can be found and I can never afford them! So the 2 "tourist" necklaces were a find. My favorite is the pink, navy and green - sorry my pictures aren't great. It is so pretty - I would never have considered that color combination but of course it gets the most comments.

    Thank you all for the love - I'm feeling strong love for Native American beading (Always!!) after watching the Edward Curtis documentary on Netflix tonight....
