I finally got something I have wanted for quite a while: A Ketoh! A Ketoh is basically a Dine' (Navajo) armguard that, over time, evolved to have a decorated silver plate with turquoise on it. They're worn as adornment now. They're expensive since the silver on it is pretty hefty. But I met a cat who made one with copper and turquoise and that was exactly what I was looking for. It has a single piece of Kingman turquoise on it and the copper plate is beaten and antiqued. Very subdued color. It's 4-1/2" long, black leather, with buckskin lacing to tie it on. I love it. I wear it every day and where I work, I can wear it there, too. I tried to post pics, but my pics won't post for some reason.
Anyway, if you're looking for primitive/traditional archery related jewelry, look into a Ketoh. Once you start wearing one, you'll start wearing it all the time.

Site won't allow me to post pics. Says file is too large and can't figure out how to remedy that. :-\

start a photobucket account, it will auto size the pics to post

...also set your camera to the lowest resolution setting. That is generally 640x480, just right to post on PA>

It's not the site, it's you :o We need pictures. ;)

Pictures man! Pictures! I want to see it. ;D

Can someone email me and I'll send the pics? Maybe someone is smarter than I on how to post them. :) If anyone really digs this Ketoh, I can turn you on to the man who made it. He does great work.
