@boomtime:

Just wanting to make sure I know for sure what I'm looking for.  This model bangle would be called the Eagle Breath SV correct?

Thanks for the help from the Goro's gurus haha

i don't think there are actually names given to them by the brand themselves.. all these names are probably given by the resellers for easy identification. in the shop it's pretty much if you see it, you can buy it, if not, they won't have it.

[boomtime]

Yeah Salami I hadn't seen the pieces named till I stumbled upon the "Goro's Fun Site" http://www.5pr.net/goro/ and they had product names on the pricelist.

Just trying to get the best idea of whats going on before I make the trek across town since I'll be living near the Nippori area.

Monday, the region just holds a special place in my heart.  I also like to support Native Americans.

Living in Oklahoma, I grew up with tons of that stuff. I love native jewelry and am always picking through it at local pawnshops. I need to learn more about it, because I have no idea, outside of basic quality, on type of craftsmanship or value. I find myself always backing up, because I have no idea what it's worth. Any resources you guys recommend?

Huge Native American influence where I grew up, as well. I love the artwork, jewelry, etc.. Also curious if there are any good resources to check out.

[madmonday]

respect MikeC, just like to get your take as you come across pretty frank on most subjects.  i look at it as the ultimate buy local campaign. they are as indigenous to the region as the soil. . .  but with that said i see nothing wrong with  buying from other regions that may copy native american's crafts.

hey guys I've heard Goro's accepts phone orders, but delivery time could be from 3 weeks to 3 months…is this true or just internet smoke?

it's plausible…. do you speak japanese? i know of people who call and make custom orders. but seems like that's only for regulars

[tatmantall]

^this would be well worth the wait to me if could speak japanese

Why get put through the ringer with Goro, when you can go to someone like Jeanette Dale, a Navajo Jewelrysmith from Navajo, NM.  The quality is the same or better.
