Our Story

Our family has been connected to turquoise for generations. Our grandmother, Vivian Flavin (King), was the granddaughter of I.P. King, who rediscovered turquoise near Manassa, CO, in 1894. This marked the beginning of a legacy rooted in craftsmanship and enterprise. Located in the San Luis Valley, our grandparents started Conejos Jewelry, LLC, in 1964 after our grandfather retired from the Air Force. Our grandmother became a renowned lapidary artist, known for her intricate designs and artistic approach.

In 1984, our father took over the family business, expanding its reach to locations across Colorado, as well as into New Mexico and Arizona. Growing up, we watched our parents pour their heart and soul into our family business, blending tradition with artistry to create something truly special. Our goal is to preserve our family's legacy by expanding into retail, allowing us to share our handcrafted Southwestern sterling silver jewelry with a wider audience.

Inde & Sol is a new branch of Conejos Jewelry, built with the same passion and dedication to preserving our heritage. We are also proud to offer authentic Native American handmade jewelry crafted by skilled artisans using traditional techniques passed down for generations. Our family's history has even been recognized in publications such as Turquoise In America, celebrating our enduring connection to this remarkable stone. We are honored to share our collection with you and hope you find a piece that resonates with your spirit.
