Local Business Shout Out!!


       
          THE SHOOTING STAR in Kapadokya, Turkey



While my bestie C was here, we ventured to Kapadokya and stumbled upon this fun new jewelry store owned and operated by a lovely woman from Paris, France named Léonie.  Léonie had visited Turkey, and Kapadokya in particular, and like most people immediately fell in love with Göreme in Kapadokya.  After some consideration she made the big move from France and opened her jewelery boutique.  Her specialties include meteorite and gemstone jewelry but she also does lovely whimsical hot-air balloon earrings and necklaces, feather earrings, and butterfly necklaces - most of these include a signature shooting star charm as well! As a bonus - if there was something you wanted that you didn't see, the proprietor was happy to make a special order for you while you wait!  I have always been partial to bracelets and when I didn't see a hot-air balloon bracelet, Léonie made one to order right on the spot!!  Such amazing service!

For more information, you can email the shop directly:

  1. Hi,
    I’m Leonie (the owner of Shooting Star jewellery store in Göreme).

    First of all thanks a lot for your lovely article ;)

    I closed this shop few months ago to open a new one, still in Göreme. I created a nice workshop/store in my house, have a look on the facebook’s page, i called it Rose’s Art Studio :

    Someone else is now renting my old place and they opened a gift shop. I know many travelers got confused and went there by mistake after reading your tips. Could you please add a note on your article that i changed the location and the name of my place (my workshop is now a bit out of the center, next to Shoestring Cave Hotel, 5 minutes from the main mosque)
and maybe add the link of my new facebook page ?
    Thanks in advance,
i wish you all the best from my beautiful valleys…
