 * Keep. A distinctive type of jewelry well-known in South Dakota, so much so that it was declared the official state jewelry in 1988.  There are plenty of discussions of this jewelry in South Dakota-related works; I've added some sources to the article.  (In addition, note that the trademark lawsuit, mentioned on the page with a cite to the 8th Circuit's opinion, appears to be discussed in an academic work entitled Tradition on trial: how the American legal system handles the concept of tradition, but GBooks shows only a snippet so I can't tell how extensive this discussion is.) --Arxiloxos (talk) 22:22, 13 January 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep per Arxiloxos. This is a distinctive style of jewelery and the official jewelery of the state of South Dakota. Needs some cleanup, but sufficient sources exist to establish notability, making this pass WP:GNG. Gobōnobō  + c 22:14, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
