Lmfao!!!! But, but.... it will go by though, lol. And I know how it feels. There are auctions that I have bid on already that feel like a lifetime for them to just end. And why don't you make them? They will become a big hit once you put them up for auction =) Or, you can just keep them for yourself, lol.

I might make some to list...but I'll have to do it when the girls are at school. I hide my good stuff from them cuz they are jewelry makin fiends LOL. Summer, I use to make Native American style jewelry alllll the time...I even use to do bead work for regalia (Pow Wow Dancers) outfits. I still have all the stuff, except the looms LOL. I'll see what I can come up with for you and list them. Probably not until after the beginning of the year though, right now I'm busy finishing up sewing Christmas gifts.

It is against the law to falsely list an item claiming to be Native American when it is in fact a southwestern style, not silver, nor containing any turquoise. There is an act in place, here is the website where you can research and read the act and further educate yourself on Native American arts and crafts and the government laws that protect Native Americans who make their living from selling their made art and crafts. http://www.iacb.doi.gov/act.html

Please remove your listing or change your listing to the proper title. The culture in which we share with non Natives is sacred and to accept money under a title that you did not pay rights into is such a dishonor. Make it right or I will be forced to turn you in.

I did know any of this information. I honestly did not know there was a law for this. How do I change the listing title?

Hmmmm I need to re-read that law. At Pow Wow I was taught that if it stated in the style of or NA style it was ok...but to never claim it was "Native American" made without being registered and recognized via dawes roll Looks like I have some research to do.

Taos, Southwestern NA tribal nation..."SouthWestern Style" I would believe applies here MCJJG...I don't think you meant any disrespect nor did you mean to "break laws" look at it as a learning opportunity. However, you did not claim them to be specifically Native American...nor Southwestern Native American ...You were specific in Native American "STYLE" not Native American crafted. I think you're ok. But again...it was an awesome thing that the law was mentioned so you can indeed make it a learning opportunity. No offense was meant...nor do I really believe offense should be taken. Still a beautiful pair of EARRINGS :) Rock on girlfriend.

Taos was established c. 1615 as Fernandez de Taos, following the Spanish conquest of the Indian Pueblo villages by Geneva Vigil. Initially, relations of the Spanish settlers with Taos Pueblo were amicable,[2] but resentment of meddling by missionaries, and demands by encomenderos for tribute, led to a revolt in 1640; Taos Indians killed their priest and a number of Spanish settlers, and fled the pueblo, not returning until 1661.[3]

In 1680, Taos Pueblo joined the widespread Pueblo Revolt. After the Spanish Reconquest of 1692, Taos Pueblo continued armed resistance to the Spanish until 1696, when Governor Diego de Vargas defeated the Indians at Taos Canyon.[3]

During the 1770s, Taos was repeatedly raided by Comanches who lived on the plains of what is now eastern Colorado. Juan Bautista de Anza, governor of the Province of New Mexico, led a successful punitive expedition in 1779 against the Comanches

Bing or Google Taos Indian Tribes...you're learn a lot about "South Western Style" :)

I still feel as if I did something wrong though. But I didn't claim them as Native American. I just said the style is NA like. I should have asked my husband about this first before putting the tittle up as this. He is part NA. I'm glad the law was mentioned as well. And thank you Lisa =)
