I am a 35 year Corporate America survivor now turned entrepreneur having launched my small business a few months ago, The Velvet Lariat. I specialize in sourcing unique vintage Native American jewelry and some new pieces as well.

I bought my first turquoise ring when I was nine years old from Chief Ed Eagle and his wife, Mary, who always set up at the sale barn in Poplar Bluff, MO. every Friday. They are uniquely responsible for my life long addiction!

Thank you for welcoming me to the group!
