I’m so glad I found you all! I adore turquoise, all Native American jewelry, and really, I just love all jewelry, stones and crystals.
My love for turquoise and Native American jewelry began in the 1970’s, on the many road trips my parents and siblings would make from California to Louisiana.
We’d drive through Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and into Louisiana, and my father would always stop at venders along the roadsude, and sonetimes We’d go to stores full of Native American jewelry.
My father always gave me something. And thats how i began loving adorning nyself with jewelry.
Many pieces have been lost over the years, but i still have a few from my youth. Sentimental at best, but I still wear them occasionally and look at them with fondness for the gift my father whose no longer with us, gave me.
I have a small collection of Native jewelry, some basic, some cheap. But all that i love to mix and wear.
I havent been able to get a dream piece yet. And that would be a big heavy squash necklace. But i dream about it!
I have a genetic diease called hypermobile Ehlers Danlos, which is a connective tissue and collegon disorder, and it affects my mobility, so finding pieces i love for good deals online, is how I’ve grown my jewelry collection, over time.
I read, research, and try to find what I feel drawn too, and its been hit and miss, I think.
So, I look forward to sharing some of it with all of you more experienced and knowledgeable collectors, get some honest opinions, and I hope to learn a lot from you all!
Thanks for reading this far, if you have, and I look forward to more communication.
Best wishes,
Gia
