The StonesNSilver.com is working on it's 7th year in busines and is family owned and operated by a mother, daughter, and granddaughter team, Ann Willenborg and Terry and Shelby Rich.  We Texas ladies have acquired, worn, and loved our Native American Indian and Turquoise Jewelry for more than 45 years combined and are excited to have the opportunity to present our web site to you!    Currently our offerings of Native American Indian jewelry are limited to unique pieces that feature American Dry Creek Turquoise, Kingman Turquoise and Number 8 Turquoise, as well as other rare & hard-to-find gemstones that include Gaspiete, Spiney Oyster, Natural Coral and Arizona Wild Horse.   We also have a selection of older Estate and Old Pawn jewelry.   We strive to select quality and one-of-a-kind pieces that you would be excited and proud to wear.    Buying quality, handmade Native American jewelry is more than just a fad, many pieces will be more valuable 30-40 years from now and can be passed down from generation to generation!

Shortly after the lauch of StonesNSilver.com, we began offering American Turquoise beads for sale online and one thing led to another . . . and the bead business just took off.   Now we offer a large variety of quality and rare gemstone beads and in August of 2008, we opened our Retail Bead Shop and Jewelry Studio in Columbus, Texas.    Over the years Shelby and Ann have learned many jewelry making techniques and they now teach in our shop as well as offer their on unique Artisan Gemstone Jewelry.

We believe that gemstones are a part of God's creation for mankind.  As with all of God's creation, it is for His glory and man's benefit.  Even with the fallen state of mankind, God gave such great gifts as gemstones.  And the greatest gift He gave was His uniquely born Son, who left heaven to become a man, to receive the judgment for our sins on the Cross.  That's why the greatest gift you can ever receive in this world is not a gemstone, but the perfect gem, the Lord Jesus Christ.  When you believe in Him as your Lord and Savior (Acts 16:31, Joh 3:16), you are saved from your sins, and you now have the gift of eternal life forever and ever (Rom 6:23, Joh 5:24).  And then you can live a full, blessed and content life by coming to a full knowledge of His plan through His Word, the Bible.
 
When you learn more and more about gemstones . . . the huge variety, shapes, colors and beauty, you can realize just how many blessings God has given for us all to enjoy on this earth!   Gemstones are mentioned time and time again in the Bible . . . the high priest’s breastplate as a manifestation of God's grace, the city of the New Jerusalem in Heaven which reflects the glory of God, worn as a covering by Satan before he rebelled . . . but no where in the Bible does God give healing power to gemstones.  The healing power is in Christ and His Word.  For all things are possible with God!

We wish to thank our many loyal customers for making our web store a huge success over the past several years and we thank Our Lord for His never ending GRACE and blessings in this venture.  If you desire to learn about God's plan for your life, please visit our web page here:  http://livegodsplan.org/
