Jewelry from New Mexico

Here's the terrific geode slice necklace I found at the mineral shop in Taos. Isn't it gorgeous? I found a great pair of amber earrings, and some silver bracelets. A couple of them were from tourist shops in Santa Fe, while two came from one of the Taos Pueblo shops. The man selling them was one of the few shops there that carry their own handmade jewelry. He had items made by himself, his brother, his father, and a friend. I fell in love with the feather bracelets. They were made by his friend. I wish I'd found something that inspired me that he'd made. He seemed like a cool guy. We were able to watch him work with his torch on a piece when we went in.
