I've recommended Castle Gold & Silver to many friends with mixed reactions. It's not a New York City top tier name brand jewelry store. But that's the point. Most people don't understand that when you buy from a "fashion designer" jewelry brand you're paying a large mark-up for the name. Whereas when you purchase your jewelry from a shop like Castle, you'll be buying the actual value of the precious stones, metal, and workmanship. Oftentimes, you may even find some of those designer jewelry pieces which a customer received as a gift, but decided didn't suit her style. A true find for those of us who don't have the time for shopping trips out-of-town! In all, you can't go wrong by stopping by to see what's new at Castle Gold & Silver!

My soon to be husband went to this shop on the recommendation of a friend for my engagement ring…read more He had no actual diamonds to show him so we went elsewhere. When I decided to change the wedding band to go with my halo ring we went to him again. He recommended a curved band with some smallish diamonds in it. I asked almost joking what am I going to do with my original band that had much smaller diamonds in it. He suggested he mount them to my engagement ring shank. I asked how will that look? He said "beautiful". Sad to say, it did not look beautiful. The diamonds were buried in the shank, the tool marks very visible and to make things worse, the mountings were not equally set as far as depth goes. I went to him to let him know how I felt and he offered to put larger diamonds in it. Said those little diamonds are really hard to do. My question: why did he sell me on the idea? James gave me a price to do bigger diamonds that he said was special. I checked around. It was not. So now I have the original wrecked wedding band, and an engagement ring that now looks somewhat homemade. I feel I gave James who seems like a nice guy, the opportunity to make it right. He did not. And he will not get that opportunity again with me. I had met with another custom jeweler here in Santa Fe (MH). We have planned a very thoughtful design with much time involved to remedy the issues and says that if I am not thrilled, he will remake the rings until I am thrilled. I did want a slight alteration and he was happy to do so.

Update on my October 16, 2025 Gold House review of the Turquoise and Diamond bracelet that broke…read moreTWICE within three weeks, and where the Gold House (which is affiliated also with Kenny Diva Diamonds and any Santa Fe jewelry store run by Suleiman Management) refused a refund per New Mexico Consumer Law. WARNING: An independent appraisal validated that the 18-carat gold band WAS NOT 18-caret gold. The Turquoise is not the MINED turquoise we were told by the Gold House; it is SYNTHETIC Turquoise which is easily made in the lab, and costs 50% to 70% cheaper. Thus, the (fake) appraisal that they gave me certifying the estimated value of the bracelet was FRADULENT. DO NOT SHOP HERE. . . . and BE CAREFUL of ANY jewelry store selling "authentic, mined" turquoise. Here are the facts: If you're comparing Santa Fe-area mined turquoise to synthetic turquoise, the differences are substantial: * Natural turquoise has geological authenticity, cultural significance, and collector value. * Synthetic turquoise is visually similar but lacks natural structure, rarity, and provenance. _ _ _ _ _ The presence of mined (natural) turquoise versus synthetic turquoise can dramatically change the appraised value of a bracelet--often by a factor of 5× to 50×, depending on quality, provenance, and craftsmanship. _ _ _ _ _ How Turquoise Type Affects Appraised Value 1. Natural, Mined Turquoise = Highest Value Appraisers place a premium on natural, mined turquoise, especially when it is: * From a known mine (Cerrillos, Sleeping Beauty, Kingman, Royston, Bisbee, etc.) * High-grade (dense, hard, vivid color, minimal matrix) * Untreated or minimally treated (stabilized is acceptable but lowers value somewhat) Value impact * A bracelet with high-grade natural turquoise can be worth thousands more than the same bracelet set with synthetic stones. * If the stones are from a famous mine, provenance alone can add 20-200% to the appraisal. _ _ _ _ _ 2. Stabilized Natural Turquoise = Mid-Range Value Most turquoise on the market is stabilized because natural turquoise is porous. Appraisers still consider stabilized turquoise real turquoise, but: * It is valued lower than untreated high-grade stones. * It is valued far higher than synthetic or reconstituted material. Value impact * Typically 40-70% of the value of high-grade natural turquoise. * Still considered legitimate and insurable as turquoise. _ _ _ _ _ 3. Synthetic Turquoise = Very Low Value Synthetic turquoise includes: * Resin-based imitation * Dyed howlite or magnesite * Reconstituted turquoise powder mixed with resin Appraisers classify these as non-gem materials. Value impact * A bracelet with synthetic turquoise may be valued only for the metal and craftsmanship, not the stones. * The turquoise itself may add little to no appraised value. * In many cases, synthetic stones reduce the appraisal by 80-95% compared to natural turquoise. _ _ _ _ _ Example of Real-World Appraisal Differences Imagine two identical sterling silver bracelets: Bracelet A: Natural, mined turquoise * High-grade stones from a known mine * Appraised value: $1,200-$3,500 Bracelet B: Synthetic turquoise * Resin-based imitation * Appraised value: $150-$300 (mostly metal + labor) Same design, same metal, same craftsmanship--but the stones change everything. _ _ _ _ _ Why Appraisers Penalize Synthetic Stones Appraisers look at: * Rarity * Authenticity * Market demand * Replacement cost * Cultural significance Natural turquoise checks all these boxes. Synthetic turquoise checks none. Even if synthetic stones look "perfect," they have: * No geological rarity * No mine provenance * No collector value * No resale market * No cultural or historical significance _ _ _ _ _ BE AN INFORMED CONSUMER. . . . DON'T GET RIPPED OFF by The Gold House. . . . or any affiliate!!!!

This is the kind of place that might buy my Mom's old silverware set, which is sitting in the closet back home in Genoa Nevada. I'll note that my experience here is on the buying side, rather than selling. I did find a portion of a display case of interest and proceeded to have a nice conversation with a very knowledgeable woman who walked me through each one that I expressed interest. I actually found a nice little "Victorian" sewing case that was very well priced. I haven't yet decided what I'm going to do with it, past admiring the design and craftmanship. But that's part of the fun in places like this, that really require repeat visits to peel back the onion.

On our first day here, we had to stop by Malouf on the Plaza, a stunning retail store that's been there for over 10 years now. It's a luxury apparel and accessory shop, that, simple put, has an exquisite inventory. Native American jewelry, a wide variety of turquoise, gold and diamond jewelry, leather goods, men's and women's clothing, etc. Great quality, and reasonable prices. Without question, one of the best shops on the plaza! Jesse is our go-to sales rep there. She knows her stuff, and is such a pleasure to work with. We didn't buy anything this time (a first I think), but it was a great visit and so fun to browse while chatting with Jesse. Ask for her if you get a chance to stop by... highly recommend a visit to Malouf on the Plaza!
