The folks here…read morewere very nice, even though I came in fairly tentative, and maybe overwhelmed by the amount of silver-containing items here (including jewelry and silverware). 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.

This store is a gem! Pun intended! I've been doing business with them for 10 years and have been…read morethrilled with my purchases. Their prices are fair and they are always happy to take the time to discuss each piece - what the stones are, where they came from, how the piece was made etc. Their knowledge and generosity of spirit are incredible. The store also includes a lovely selection of silver pieces and gifts. if you are in Santa Fe, treat yourself to a visit at Things Finer.

Unfortunately we were on a time crunch so I chose and bought quickly but looking forward to another visit in the future. Madrid is Mostly awesome.

We were visiting Santa Fe and wanted to buy a special turquoise bracelet. The first njght we…read moreexplored the stores right on the square but found that the stores didn't have the vintage pieces we were looking for at a fair price. After looking through online reviews we found a recommendation for Turquoise House so I stopped in. The owner is wonderful! He was so kind and really spent the time getting to know us and what we were interested in. When I found a signed vintage piece that was out of my price range, he worked with us to get it to a price we could manage. We left feeling like we had a new friend in the business. When we looked further at the hallmark and researched the artist more, we found that the piece we bought is valued at 30% more than we paid. Not that we will ever sell it. I know this review sounds a little gushy but just look at the photo and you'll get it.

I stumbled across the Crystal Dragon that had, by far and away, the best selection of unique and original gemstone jewelry and, important to me, a substantial selection of turquoise varieties from several mines.

When my ring arrived via USPS just a few weeks later, I was blown away! It was EXACTLY what I wanted and fit perfectly. I love my one-of-a kind creation!

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.
