Was reading a biography of the scientist Marie Curie. It said that one of the very few pieces of jewelry she wore in her lifetime was an American Indian-made silver and turquoise necklace she bought in Santa Fe during her whirlwind American visit in 1921. Thought that was kinda cool.

I'm down with you woman. This stuff is just too gorgy to leave sitting in a box or drawer. Iris Apfel is my inspiration!!!

Thank you for your kind words. I'm not a petite lady at all. I'm 5'10" & while I'm not fat, I could stand to drop a few pounds according to my Dr. LOL Delicate jewelry has never been my style. While I like the looks of it, small stuff just doesn't show up on me. I've always preferred Big & Bold, especially when it comes to my NA jewelry. I had people stop me all day long complimenting me on my turquoise. I felt like a NA princess! lol

I was at a holiday party the other night and a gentleman was wearing a bolo tie with a honking huge chunk of the most gorgeous turquoise. I thought of you Susie and your lovely bolo. I wanted to approach the gentleman and more closely ogle his turquoise but he was not the sort of gentleman you approach to ogle his jewelry without advanced social skills. Alas I lack that degree of social skills. Man that tie was something. It actually made the ratty plaid flannel shirt look chic.

OMYGOSH I was wearing mine around the house yesterday with sweats...YES I WAS. We have my FIL on hospice in our home and we're just ragged. Wearing the turquoise just felt warm and special to my dismal attire.
