Cool Water Jewelry was conceived and launched in 1994 when we lived on a small ranch in the foothills of Montana’s rugged Beartooth Mountains. We named our place “Coolwater Ranch”…”Cool Water” because our home was nestled between a clear tumbling creek and two spring-fed ponds, and “Ranch”, not for cattle, but for the Missouri Bullfrogs we discovered in the ponds, much to my boys’ delight! At that time the family’s horse and cattle ranch was located two hours away, in the more remote Bull Mountains – truly a piece of the “Old West”
