Turquoise Thursday :: Nellie Bly II

Good Thursday afternoon friends!

Yesterday I had a wonderful day with my grandma in Jerome, AZ. If you are ever in the Verde Valley you need to make sure you visit Jerome, the billion dollar copper camp. It's perched on the side of Mingus Mountain and is full of unique shops and restaurants...and even some ghost stories :)

My other grandma who is passed away now was born and raised there on that mountainside. My grandpa worked in the smelter there and my dad went to HS up there.

Anyway, if you get the chance you must visit my two very favorite stores. Skyfire and Nellie Bly II. Skyfire has a lot of items in it varying from home decor/furniture to funky books and mints/bandaids for all occasions - yes even the bacon bandaids :) Nellie Bly II {yes there is just a "Nellie Bly" which is full of the most beautiful kaleidoscopes and other shiny things} has a gorgeous assortment of jewelry. 

Especially my favorite: turquoise. See below for some images I snagged off their website...

Beautiful Charm Bracelet

I have been dying to get one of these or the salad tongs/forks that have the turquoise inlay for YEARS {literally people, years}. I think they would make great gifts! My favorite is the mesquite wood with turquoise inlay {I don't think it's pictured...the dark is walnut I know}

Gorgeous earrings

Sleeping beauty beads

Green Teardrop Bonecutter Ring

This is just a tiny sampling, they have hundreds of turquoise pieces and a whole heck of a lot of other stones and gems.
