About Milagro

I’m Myelia (pronounced My-Ella)—a part-time Texan, part-time New Mexican, and a full-time turquoise addict.

I was raised in southern New Mexico, surrounded by wide-open skies, ranch work, and a deep family love for Native American jewelry. After graduating from New Mexico State University, I moved to Midland, Texas, but the Southwest has always held my heart. On weekends, you’ll find me and my sidekick Trout (my pup!) either helping family on the ranch or out feeding cows with my husband Trey—and of course, always hunting for more turquoise.

My passion for Native American jewelry started early. Every birthday and Christmas, my parents gifted me a special piece to grow my collection. One of my favorite memories is picking out my first pair of Zuni Sunface studs with my dad after getting my ears pierced—he wasn’t a fan of the plain diamond studs! My parents loved Santa Fe and took the time to meet the artists on the plaza, listening to their stories and honoring their craft. That tradition and connection shaped me.

I began selling jewelry in college, just a few pieces at a time, working directly with artists I trusted and admired. Even on a student budget, I knew where to find pieces made with heart and heritage.

The idea for Milagro Turquoise & Co came to me one night—literally. I woke up with the name on my heart and couldn’t ignore the pull any longer. With a nudge from my dad, I went on my first turquoise trip, sourced my first pieces, and haven’t looked back.

Every item I sell is handcrafted by Native American artists and made with genuine turquoise. I work closely with the artists, often choosing the stones myself, and sometimes sketching out ideas that turn into one-of-a-kind creations. Sitting in a shop, surrounded by trays of stones, fills my soul—it’s the best part of my job.

Some of my favorite finds are signature pieces—works that reflect the artist’s personal style or carry techniques passed down for generations. These pieces are more than jewelry; they’re heirlooms of culture and tradition.

My hope is that each piece brings you the same spark of joy it brings me—and becomes part of your story for generations to come.

With love,
Myelia
