About Beadles and StonesGrowing up in Arizona, I came to love copper and turquoise for many reasons. My dad worked in the copper mine so that was our livelihood. Turquoise is found near copper. One of my brother's jobs was picking turquoise for a local company.
The turquoise is the famous Sleeping Beauty turquoise. Who knew it would become so popular? My husband is a mining engineer and his last job was at a gold mine!! Of course, I will never get to play with that metal but I sure appreciate it. Stones, gems, and metals all fascinate me. I now am trying to put the fascination into construction of beautiful jewelry. Thanks to all who enter my shop. Debbie D |
