Chris Stapleton‘s wife Morgane Stapleton has a fondness for all the pieces in her jewelry store, Tennessee Turquoise Company, but there are a select few that stand above the rest.
Among Morgane’s favorite items right now are a butterfly cuff bracelet made of Bisbee turquoise dating back to the 1920s, handmade by the Navajo people, along with a turquoise ring from the 1930s.
The singer is also admiring a stamped silver hat band accented by a trio of hand-cut turquoise stones and a variety of vintage silverware, including a 1940s era set of a fork and spoon with a delicate gemstone on the handle that possesses “heirloom quality,” they describe.
Among some of Morgane’s other favorite things are her own brand of candles that emit scents of African ginger and mahogany wood, with the packaging designed by Morgane herself, along with a silver ash tray and horse pin.
The singer-songwriter was inspired to open Tennessee Turquoise Company in Franklin in 2019 after she and her husband took trips out west and she became enamored with turquoise when visiting many shops that sell the gem.
A portion of the proceeds are donated to the National Indigenous Women’s Resource Center.
