Keshi is just as delightful as I was promised! Case after case of small carved fetishes. And you're encourages to touch and feel! The people who work there are informative and warm. I came in after seeing a piece online. I asked if they had it in store, and it was upstairs, so if you found something online, ask when you get in. They're happy to unite you with the piece. It's part of the culture of the store. read more

This is a wonderful store filled with all manner of fabulous things. I love coming here with our visitors from out of town . This store reveals itself slowly and then all at once. The fetishes are always changing and their selection of jewelry is just marvelous. The staff is helpful and kind and the quality of merchandise is unparalleled. We come back again and again and always find something to love. Dont miss it. read more

Great staff - knowledgeable and helpful. Tho small store, they have a lot of interesting items. Prices are a tad high but more money goes directly to the artist. I bought a "fetish," which is really a spirit animal carving. Also they have beautiful postcards for free! read more

Each time I shop at Keshi, it is a joy! As others have mentioned, they sell art (mostly festishes, and jewelry) from the Zuni with the intent of providing fair market value to the artists. The staff is friendly and knowledgable about the artists, the meaning of the fetishes, and the stone work. The prices are reasonable, and they have something for everyone from lower prices to high. They believe (and anyone who collects fetishes will tell you) you only buy that which feels good to you (many a new animal friend has made it clear they were coming home with me) - so there is not sales pressure, and you're encouraged to hold and touch anything you're interested in. It's a can't miss in Santa Fe! read more

The staff were all so knowledgeable about each fetish. They had the best collection in town. They also were very careful on COVID and made us all feel safe by limiting the people in store at time. read more

Such a special shop and a great way to directly support Zuni artists. Staff was so warm and knowledgeable and there were so many unique fetishes (hand-carved stone pieces) to choose from, with many under $100. Great jewelry and ceramics as well. We purchased a stone piece and learned about its meaning and the artist who made it. The dedication to education and supporting artists directly really sets this place apart from nearby touristy shops. A must visit! read more

Really wonderful place. I love Santa Fe, but it can be so touristy and you never know if what you're buying is something authentic or not- but here there was absolutely no question. Every piece was beautiful and the staff either knew or knew of the artist- in fact one of the pieces we purchased was made by one of the staff's grandfathers- it was so lovely to hear her take on the piece, it made it even more special. One of the best experiences we had in Santa Fe. read more

We have been visiting the establishment for years. We feel very welcome. Their selection is top notch. I'm sure we will be back.

When we entered we were greeted and asked to listen to a story about the Zuni people, their history and background. We then roamed the small but packed shop with remarkable pieces of art. When we had questions they were answered. Each piece was created by someone who is identified. Even the $10 fetishes could be named by the artist. This off-the-plaza store was a true find read more

This place is amazing! So most of the Santa Fe Plaza is either really kitschy souvenirs (not knocking it, I've been known to buy them too) or really expensive stores that take half your paycheck...like those rhinestone-jeweled cowgirl boots I saw for $200...I wouldn't even know when I would wear those boots. Anyway. I stumbled on this place while I was about to leave the Plaza (it's off the main plaza) one weekend and while it was on my list of things to do, it was entirely beyond my expectations. Whether you are looking for a souvenir or something deeper, Keshi definitely has what you're looking for. This store is composed of Zuni fetishes, pottery, and jewelry, but the fetishes in just about any animal is what really stands out. Everything in the store is personally made by a Zuni artist. Fetishes are small carvings made from various materials by the Zuni people. These carvings have traditionally served as a ceremonial purpose for their creators and depict animals and icons integral to their culture. Each animal is believed to have inherent powers or qualities that may aid the owner. Some people come in looking for something specific...and others, like me, come in and pick up what they feel is right. It's almost mystical in a way. The store is organized in several ways. There are some areas which are organized by artist and artist families. There are other areas that are organized by animals. There is even a section of books that you can consult if you are looking for something special. Fetishes cost anywhere from $10 to the hundreds of dollars; there is a carving for everyone. I've looked around at the other fetishes offered at other stores...and the selection here is a ton better than anywhere else, and the prices are comparable or cheaper than the prices you would get at other vendors, including the open air markets. Customer service is awesome; they will explain the merchandise and the background and help as much as you want to be helped, but they will also leave you alone if you want to browse. While I was picking out some carvings, a man came in wanting to get a gift for his sister, who was in the day before looking at several carvings, and the girls working did a dedicated search trying to figure out which ones she had been looking at, even calling up the owner who had helped the sister the day before. Now that's customer service! And when I was leaving (only because it was after store closing, sorry!), they even specifically wrote down the other carvings I was looking at for me in case I decided to come back to get them. I came in to buy some carvings for family and friends...and what I walked out with...was a journey in itself. I wanted meaningful carvings...and so did what the employees were suggesting...to pick what feels right. Curiously, asking about the meanings of the animals after the process, it was almost as if something was guiding my process because I could not have chosen better if I had known the meanings beforehand. The gift packaging in itself is amazing and includes a traditional Native custom. They also write down the artist and describe the piece you've picked out for the recipient. This is definitely a stop not to be missed if you're exploring the riches of New Mexico. read more

Keshi - The Zuni Connection - From website - Jewelry Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

My family visited Santa Fe this summer, and I was blessed to have a good friend in the area who was willing to be a guide for us. One of the "off the beaten path" wonders she introduced us to was Keshi. My daughter had "discovered" fetishes on the trip, and her jaw just about hit the ground when she walked in here. Mine did too. The walls are covered in cases full of carved fetishes, sorted by animal - and I'm not sure there was an animal that wasn't represented, most of them of exceptional quality. I could have done some serious damage to my budget in that store - and my daughter and I both left with treasures. Prices were everything from a few dollars (fetishes made by new artists, small pouches, etc.) to thousands (amazing carvings and jewelry). Yet nothing seemed overpriced for what it was - in fact I was delighted with the fetishes and earrings I bought. I loved Santa Fe - and I will be back. And when I do - a visit to Keshi will definitely be on the itinerary! My Raven fetishes need some magpie friends. :) read more

Stopped in Keshi this week for my first visit in several years. A go to over twenty five years for quality, authenic, contemporary pueblo art work. Focused on Zuni artisans, their collection extends to a broad range of Rio Grande pueblos. (my favorite Salvador Romero / Cochiti). Bronwyn and her staff live their work. Their knowledge. ethics and professionalism are exceptional. I always leave the shop with greater knowledge than when I walked in, and a few gifts and add ons to my collection. Very good value for the art, service and good will provided. Keshi is Sata Fe. read more

Very beautiful art, and understand this is a dying artwork but the mark up is way too expensive. Just wasn't reasonably priced.

Great shop with a knowledgeable and caring staff. Buy from them - they sell authentic handmade and carved jewelry. Most "Indian" jewelry out there is garbage, but Keshi has the real thing. This place does a great job of providing an opportunity to let Zuni help themselves. read more

Very nice store for Indian jewelry and fetishes. Visit some of the local museums before coming to this store - gave me a better appreciation for the intricacy of the various earrings and bracelets. Wonderful selection. Helpful, knowledgeable, friendly staff gave me educated advice that really contributed to a positive shopping experience. read more

Wow, I can't think of anything else to say. When we visited the store the staff couldn't have been nicer. They answered all of our questions regarding all the artist and fetishes. We were treated like friends and old friends at that. They were polite and courteous with my 4 year old daughter. I highly suggest stopping in and saying hi read more

Keshi has an amazing selection of Zuni carvings and jewelry. It also has a smaller selection of pottery and carvings by artists with other tribal affiliations. The carvings run the gambit from small pieces to remind you of your visit to the southwest to major works by contemporary masters. The staff is uniformly friendly and knowledgable. The store also has a great website that is updated frequently. read more

Everything you always wanted to know about Zuni fetish animals. We stumbled upon this place in Santa Fe and were instantly welcomed. The ladies described in details the animals and they patiently answered questions we had - we didn't know anything about them. Ended up buying two. They have beautiful jewelry too. Highly recommended and such an educational experience! read more

Friendly, knowledgeable staff in a beautiful store filled with amazing objects. Their commitment to equity and integrity with their artists is laudable. Wonderful place. read more

This is my favorite shop in Santa Fe to buy Zuni fetishes. The people who work there are so knowledgeable and have close relationships with the artists themselves. They have a great selection, all of very high quality, for all price ranges. I have been stopping here every time I pass through and will continue to do so. read more

Very cool shop. It was started by a Zuni lady who wanted a place where her relatives and other Zuni people could sell their jewelry and other native crafts and get fair prices. They have gorgeous jewelry here and very knowledgeable salespeople. We were looking for something specific and couldn't find it. They gave us the names of a few other stores where we might be able to find Zuni jewelry that also pay the artists fair price. We went to one of them and found exactly what we were looking for! Highly appreciated. Definitely visit this place for gorgeous jewelry. They have a huge supply even if it's not in the case. read more

This is probably the premier store to purchase Zuni fetishes in the entire United States. There is no other store that has the selection they do and their prices are reasonable as well. This is the type of store where you can spend hours looking and where you can easily spend hundreds of dollars if you love Zuni fetishes. read more

My favorite place to shop and to learn in Santa Fe! The staff is well versed in animal meanings which is helpful when perusing the many shelves of fetishes. Such a great feeling there, and it's shopping done right (fair trade style)! read more

A stone fell out of a Jolene Eustace bracelet that I had purchased on line from Keshi...when I was visiting Santa Fe last summer, I took the bracelet with me and dropped it off for repair. (luckily I found the stone!)..they sent it to Jolene for repair and it was returned in a timely fashion. Love this store! read more

Not all of their fetishes are available in store. And if you want to see one you sometimes have go to it's shiny internet photo.

Keshi is a treasure. Stocked to the ceiling with handmade Zuni fetish, pottery, and jewelry, all sold at fair prices with the involvement of the artist. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and helpful - never pushy. They want you to find the piece that calls to you, whether it's ten dollars or two hundred. They beautifully gift wrap every item with care and make sure you leave knowing about your fetish or the artist that crafted your jewelry. It's a delight to shop here, and one of the best shops in town. Don't miss it. read more

This is the best place to buy jewelry in SantaFe. The person who makes the jewelry gets the highest percentage of profit and it is guaranteed. You will be provided the name of the artist and it is completely run by members of the Zuni nation read more

I love this store. Great Zuni handmade items. INCREDIBLE staff and it is a fair trade store. I bought the most incredible bracelet at this store. IF you are in Santa Fe -- you MUST stop at this store. I've been going to Santa Fe for 20 years and this is the best store there. It is great that the money goes to the artist -- the artist set the prices. INCREDIBLE, INCREDIBLE, INCREDIBLE. read more
