PLEASE NOTE:::… Turquoises, Shells, Gemstones and
Coral are very difficult to photograph to Perfect Life Like, because the lights
can penetrate somewhat into some of them and the different types of lights used
can create many different slight color tones and hues of them in the photos, and
or it can make items look darker shades, tones and hues, so I cannot and will
not try to say an exact color of the item being sold because, the cameras,
bright lights, backgrounds, foregrounds and computer monitors and moving the
item around to photograph it can also distort the actual Life Like color tones
and hues, and it may be the color your seeing on your computer monitor when you
get it or it may be a lighter or darker color, tone or hue when you get it from
what your seeing on your computer monitor, also the angle of which your looking
at a computer monitor can also change the color, color tones and hues of an
items color your looking at, Thanks.
Throughout our Indian lands the trading posts
serve also as pawn shops with the trader usually involved in an earthy form of
banking business – part of the process known as pawning…… Most Hopi, Zuni and Navajo reservation
Indians (The BIG Three) and many other Traders converted their turquoise and silver jewelry into
cash……. When in need of money or commodities their assets are used as
securities for loans……… At times the trading post vault is the safest
place in which to keep valuables…….. In this case the Native
American pawns their items for a minimum loan of cash and is happy to pay the
interest rate in return for the security of his goods…… If articles are
not redeemed after the contractual length of time, it becomes ” Old Pawn ” and
may be sold by the pawn shop trader for whatever the market will
allow.
