He expoused that jewelry was an art form, a smaller version of sculpture. His ideas caught on, & have evolved into an international appreciation for contemporary jewelry & art.

I love J. Cotter Gallery. Everyone who works here is very nice and helpful. I have a necklace and a…read morecustom made ring from here from my boyfriend. I needed to get my ring resized because it was a little big for me. They were super accommodating and nice. My family has known Jim for years and he and his work is absolutely stunning. I love just popping into the gallery in the Vail Village to see what new pieces of art he has created. Also Martin who works at the gallery is one of the best people I have ever met; he is such a joy. I would recommend if anyone wants a truly unique piece of the Vail Valley while on vacation to bring home with them to go here. You will not find a more beautiful selection of jewelry anywhere else.

This shop has amazing new pieces; but what I love most about Squash Blossom is their amazing and…read morebeautiful selection of one of a kind estate pieces. It is very difficult to find a high end jewelry shop that sells quality estate pieces at proper prices. The sales associates are professional and very kind. They take their time with you and are attentive and informative, whether you are spending a couple hundred, a couple thousand or tens of thousands of dollars. The Associates treat you just the same. I visit this shop at least twice a year and every time I walk away with something, or many, estate pieces that are beyond beautiful. Yet, during my visit last year, I became so caught up in the moment, that as well as a few pieces for 5K, i bought a $20,000 Art Deco bangle! That evening, when I realized what I had done, how stupid I was, having multiple medical bills, two rents, many other expenses as well as my taxes to pay... I called and spoke to the Associate that sold me my pieces. In tears, I asked her if she would allow me to return the bangle, not that I wanted to; but, because I had become overly giddy and irresponsible by making that one purchase. She was very supportive and sympathised with my plight and agreed to allow me to return the bangle. The item was returned, for a full refund, the very next day! Thank Goodness! I spend at least five grand or so every time I walk into Squash Blossom and will spend $20K over the next years to come (and then some); but, in one go? on top of another 5-6K? They did not have to give me that return. It was my fault that I was in outer space. Yet, the Associate completely understood what I had done and what I needed to do, which was to be responsible and return that beautiful piece. I still hope it's there; but, I completely doubt it. It was too remarkable of a piece. Their estate pieces are out of this world, as well as their new pieces. I highly recommend this shop and once I get over my embarrassment (it's been almost almost a year), I'll be back in to buy something special and unique. Thank you Squash Blossom.

Located at the north end of Front Street near the…read moreold main street, it has a variety of items including pottery, jewelry, crystals, bottled scents, fun collectables, and lots of South Park memorabilia from the animated TV program. We asked the clerk why the South Park characters are so prominent throughout the town of Fairplay. She said the town was originally called South Park in the late 1800s. It became a trading post and the name was changed to let traders know the town "played fair" when making trade deals. She said the South Park name continues because one of the originators of the South Park TV show grew up in the town and many of the characters from the show were people he knew when growing up. The owner of the pottery story has a son who is a big South Park fan. His vast collection of memorabilia from the show is available for viewing in the store's South Park museum. For a few dollars visitors to the Pottery store can enjoy looking through his incredible collection.

The owner offered a free incense and sticker with my purchase. The prices are extremely reasonable and I felt like I underpaid given the quality and beauty of the piece I purchased. The owner informed me that she would ship items if I ever saw anything I liked online. She also told me a bit about the background of the artist who's work I purchased which was cool.
