Will return - shopped there daily -:)…read more Some calls it Native American Vendors Program of the Palace of the Governors @ New Mexico History Museum. It's a block away from our hotel. Vendors are mostly kind. Their self made products, mostly with turquoise are wonderful. The opaque, blue-to-green turquoise is a mineral. Persian stones from Nishapur (of Iran) is used as a guiding reference for evaluating turquoise quality. Navajo and Hopi tribes are known to produce high quality turquoise jewelry. The top two of the following 4 kinds of turquoise are widely used in Santa Fe area: Sleeping Beauty Turquoise  Kingman Turquoise  Bisbee   Royston  They (including the stores as well) prize Sleeping Beauty for its consistent sky-blue color. However, it's no longer being mined (?), while Kingsman has brilliant blue color, but it isn't as precious as SL due to the fact that they're still abundantly being mined. One native vendor explained how the program work: They've a committee, to determine the eligibility (sometimes vendor has to go before the committee to demonstrate their skills - like making a piece). The covered corridor has 63 spaces, each marks with a white number. If the vendors are more than the spaces, they'll have to do a lottery, which means a particular vendor may not come tomorrow. In General, a particular vendor doesn't come everyday.  On the last day there, I purchased a bracelet from a generous man, who explains the logos are his name and his daughter's. When I pay, he tells me a less amount voluntarily. I was a little hesitate. Although I like bargains and discounts, but I don't ask for it with small vendor, especially with the artist him or herself.  "Are you sure?" I asked. Actually I was not 100% sure what he had quoted me earlier.  "Yes, it looks so nice on your wrist." I paid what he asked. Thank you.

We visited this establishment in March 2024 and ended up purchasing a metal sculpture. The…read moresculpture was not without issues. The following is a letter I recently sent to Juan (one of the owners). I have yet to receive a response. Hello Juan, During our stay in Santa Fe, we visited your shop in March of this year and after viewing a video of how the metal sculptures were made, we ended up purchasing a hanging metal sun sculpture. With the additional cost of shipping, we paid close to $300 for it. Upon receiving it, we noted spots where the surface had been chipped and was missing glaze and coloring. Apparently this was how it was sold as we did not view it close up, but rather, hanging at a distance on the wall. We contacted you and appreciated your prompt handling of the issue in sending us another sculpture (though not quite as appealing as the initial one chosen). What you neglected to mention is that these metal sculptures are not suitable for outdoor hanging in coastal areas ie. damp and salty air climates. We had put the first one up (w/o the rays attached) outside our front door. As you can see in the photos, the beautiful colors on the piece had pretty much faded after barely 2 months exposed to the local weather elements. We had refrained from putting up the replacement sculpture as we weren't sure where I wanted to place it on the outside of the home. But now we have the new one with no safe, outdoor spot to hang it, and no space indoors. I imagine we'll figure something out. So the point of this letter is to inform you about what has unfolded with your product and to encourage you to: 1. Offer to take the sculpture off the wall so the prospective buyer can view it up close and spot any damage or flaws that might preclude them from purchasing it. 2. Make your prospective customers aware of the very possible effect that damp or salt air can have on your sculptures. While some buyers might have an idea about this, many do not. If you bother to take these steps you can save yourself some grief and your customers some disappointment with their purchase(s). A word to the wise ...
