One of my favorite new “little” online jewelry shops is Abella Galleries and if you haven’t heard of them, then you should run over and check them out! Elizabeth is the owner and she is just fabulous! She has a great selection of beautiful white stone and turquoise jewelery. I am a sucker for beautiful jewelery and I fell in love at first sight. All of Abella Galleries jewelry is custom designed by Elizabeth herself and she plans to feature many other up and coming artists, jewelry designers, and photographers in her gallery soon.

Priced very affordably, the white stone and turquoise jewelry could easily become a staple of anyone’s wardrobe. Elizabeth sent me her 18 in. Blue Meadow Turquoise Necklace to try out and I love it! I wear it almost everyday, it looks good with blue jeans and my little black dress; priced at just $25.00 for the18 inch collar necklace, I’ll be buying one for each of my sister’s birthdays.

I have found a line of beaded turquoise jewelry that I would like to introduce you to. The name is Abella Galleries, and the founder/entrepreneur is Elizabeth Rowland. While touring Beijing, she saw some beautiful blue turquoise beaded necklaces hanging in the shops. The product was breathtaking, and she just had to design jewelery made of these beads. Now, I have the great opportunity to share Abella Galleries with you and offer you a chance to win as well.

This piece, the Blue Meadow Oval in long length is what Elizabeth sent to me. As you can tell from the picture, it is a beautiful necklace. But what you don't see is how pure and vibrant the stones are. I noticed this the very first time I laid my eyes on them. The deep, bold color of the necklace is absolutely striking! I can understand now why Elizabeth fell in love with them at first glance! The necklace is made from green turquoise beads, and a great sterling silver toggle clasp. I love the fact that it is so versatile. You can wear this piece long or double wrapped - with jeans and a t-shirt, or with a little black dress. The store also features other styles and sizes of turquoise beaded jewelry, there has to be one that stands out to you! With a great attention to detail and craftsmanship, while representing that great eclectic, natural feel - Abella Galleries gets my approval.

Want to see another piece? Abella Galleries also presents a classic white oval necklace as seen here. This style and color seems to me, to be one that could be mixed and matched with any color and style of clothing. An afternoon BBQ or a business meeting, the white stone jewelery looks to be a finishing touch to any look.

Elizabeth isn't by any means done in her hunt for great jewelery. I look forward to seeing even more artisans be exhibited on the site. The gallery will soon be incorporating other artists who might not have the time or resources to develop their own online presence. In fact, very soon Abella Galleries will be featuring a line of freshwater pearls, silver jewelry by a Nashville-based silversmith and elegant bridal accessories by an artist living in Jacksonville, Florida. I have a feeling you will hear a lot more about this gallery in the future, and I hope it will become an international resource for many talented artists.

BUY IT: This fine jewelery comes for a great price! Valentine's Day is coming up! Why not drop a hint that you'd love to have some jewelery this year?? Perfect for yourself, or someone you know.
