How would you search for this necklace?

I read an article about effective tagging recently. It made me stop and think about how I am tagging my items in my Etsy shop and am I doing so in the most effective manner. I THINK I am tagging so that potential customers can find my items, but am I really? If you were searching for this necklace, what would you put in the search box? Leave me a comment and give me a few words or phrases you would use. I'll see if I am "thinking like a customer" or not! Thanks everyone!

Vintage cowgirl, cowgirl and horse, cowgirl photo. That is what I would type in to search for what I look for. Great necklace, by the way, but you knew I would love it !

What a great idea! If I were looking for a necklace like that the first thing that comes to mind is "cowgirl", then "beaded", then "turquoise" and maybe "southwest" or "southwestern". Hope this helps!

The craggy cliffs and sea are wonderful, but I would love to see the desert!
Speaking of tagging, I have tagged you in a different way! Don't feel pressured, but if you want to play, check out my blog for the lowdown!

Lots of great suggestions already, but here's my 2 cents of what came to mind first: vintage, cowgirl, western, southwest, turquoise, beaded.

Great piece B!
