Jason’s Art Gallery

While traversing the Loneliest Road in America, be sure to check out Jason’s Art Gallery right in the heart of central Nevada. For 25 years a local couple—the Cooleys— have been selling high-end, hand-crafted jewelry. Using mostly local stones, Duane creates gorgeous pendants, earrings, bracelets, and more, while Jeanne tends the store. 

The couple doesn’t have an online store, but whether through word-of-mouth or previous visitors, their phone rings off the hook with requests for Duane’s creations. During the summer months, the store can see hundreds of people a day perusing the massive selection of turquoise, chrysocolla, jasper, and other precious stones laid out in the welcoming shop. Row upon row of gleaming pieces beg inspection, but don’t forget to look around and see the fun and funky artwork on the walls, too.
