Featured Beadwork and a Beaded Porcupine Quill Necklace questions

The first is a 26" necklace made of seed beads and what looks like porcupine quills with the softest leather or something. Just a tourist piece?

The second is a group of beadwork, a couple of the pieces look unfinished. Just someone's home projects? I am clueless and would appreciate any thoughts or opinions.

 

Deerskin, one of the nicest types of leather to work with.

Worn by Native Americans and anyone else, worldwide.

 

Thanks Any Jewelry. I thought maybe deerskin. It is so soft. It doesn't look like it's ever been worn. It also looks handmade as the deerskin strips are not exactly alike.

 

Yes, that is usually the case.

 

the choker has the look of a NA tourist item, but that's all I can say about it.

The necklace almost certainly is, but of no one tribal connection.

The other 3 are bracelets or armbands, most likely native in origin.....a little older than the necklaces...
all items you would find sold at a Pow wow.....

the two bands.....may even be mid century...

 

Thank you Komokwa. I was hoping you would weigh in. Great information.

 

Love the 2 bands!

 

Thanks Reader. They have lovely designs.

 

They are all beautiful. Do you ever wear this sort of thing?

 

No I do not. I wear very little jewelry. Mostly I buy pretty things to resell.
