At Xualla in downtown Saluda, turquoise and sterling silver jewelry fill vintage display cabinets lit by stained-glass lamps. The jewelry is a good place to start, especially if you’re looking for a statement piece. From there, take a look around at the artwork and accessories tucked among the antique furnishings.
Exposed wooden beams and the soft light from the lamps make the shop a place to linger. If you’re spending an afternoon browsing downtown, leave yourself time to look through the cases. A piece of turquoise might catch your eye first, but you may leave with a gift you hadn’t thought to look for.
