Vintage Turquoise Treasure

It's a nice day at your Western Vintage Boutique when a sixty year old woman comes in and says "would you like to look at some turquoise that belonged to my mother?" That puts her mom at about 40 in 1975. I also love it when they say "she lived in the Southwest". This scenario went down this week at Cowgirl Cash. I love opening the boxes, digging through ziplock bags, and untying velvet bags to see what will present itself. It is however a touchy subject. The mom's jewelry is sentimental, the owner is nostalgic and as much as I want to buy it all and make everyone happy, an agreement of a realistic price needs to be negotiated. The turquoise I purchased was a mixed lot. Some was fantastic, some was not native and contained dyed stones. I bought the pieces I thought worked for my store and my clients. Please come check out the tray of rings and select bracelets tonight during August Art walk. To see what I buy more frequently follow me on Instagram! Search @CowgirlCash...
