Our story · Vol. 01

Made by hand.
One of one.

A small studio in Montrose, Colorado — making jewelry the slow way, one piece at a time.

Meet the maker
The maker behind Tacky Turquoise
◆ The maker

Made by hand, one at a time.

It started in a kitchen — one strand of beads, a clasp, and an idea that stuck.

Every piece is designed and strung by hand, in Montrose — turquoise, German silver, and a little patience.

No two pieces are alike. When you order, you're getting one that was touched, named, and signed.

Made in Montrose By hand
◆ The craft

Turquoise,
German silver.

Every necklace is hand-strung by me, one bead at a time.

German silver beads are antiqued and polished by Navajo artists using a technique passed down since the 1800s. Heavier than sterling, harder, and built to last.

◆ The promise

One piece.
One owner.

Nothing gets restocked. Nothing gets duplicated. When a piece is gone, it's gone. That's the deal, and it's why every piece is worth the wait.
