I can not say enough about Mario and his beautiful shop. Mario spent extra time with me and my sister explaining all the different types of turquoise, the different types of silver work and showing us all the different artists that do the most beautiful jewelry work. He was able to send my personal bracelet off to be repaired and had it back to me before I left town. We had a great time shopping at his gallery! He was also shipped our purchases that we to large to fly home with us at no charge. I feel like we have made a friend in Santa Fe and will definitely be back. If you are looking for beautiful American Indian jewelry or art please please take the time to stop in and see Mario!!

My wife and I were on our way to the IAIA museum and we stopped in Onyx just to have a look around. We were met by Mario and Paul, who are two of the nicest people I've ever met. Onyx has an incredible selection of Native jewelry. We ended up purchasing a ring for me that day and came back the next day to pick up a bracelet. Both purchases were effortless, and the prices were very affordable. We live in New Mexico. Often times, jewelry stores on the Plaza are full of pieces that are popular with the tourist crowd, but not many local artists. Onyx, however, is packed to the rafters with a number of local Native artists. If you're looking to add to your collection or you're interested in buying your first piece, go to Onyx and talk with Mario and Paul. You'll get the best customer service and best deals in town.

What a fun experience trading in my grandmother’s 40s and 50s native jewelry with these knowledgeable gentleman! Mario and Paul were so professional and enthusiastic about the pieces and offered a very fair price to me. I’m so happy to know they will be sold to people who appreciate them instead of in some plastic bag hidden away in my closet. Thank you both!

We love Mario and Paul. They have a deep knowledge of their jewelry pieces including one of a kind and estate finds. Each piece is special and unique. Wonderful customer service and prices. We will continue shopping with Mario at Onyx.

Mario is the BEST! Even during these times I got to hug him 3 times for making my mom so happy with his selection, personality and prices! I bought her the perfect piece from him that she has been wanting. After shopping about 12 other stores, we ended up at ONYX which was our very last one. He is the most pleasant and sweetest person in all of Santa Fe! You MUST shop here! It’s beyond lovely!!*pic is of my mom with her new bracelet and Mario! *20 STARS!!!!

I wish I could give 10 stars! I was visiting from Utah and stopped by on my way out of the plaza... most knowledgeable about every piece he picked up, was affordable and had the best customer service. I will definitely come back to Santa Fe just to buy the most beautiful pieces from Mario

This is our favorite place in Santa Fe. Mario is terrific; he is supremely knowledgeable, warm, and easy to both think with and work with. We have 8 pieces from his collection (all of which are magnificent). He is also fantastic with repairs, even with pieces we purchased elsewhere. We make it a point to drop by every time we are in town. I would add that his designs are beautiful; we just got a Candelaria turquoise + diamond ring for my wife that is his design. Highly recommended!

Mario has three reviews so far since 2018 and that is way too few for a shop such as Onyx for Jewelry and other accessories. I have shopped in the Jewelry district of NYC and have seen the best there. But for the items that Onyx specializes in, primarily southwest and others, Mario knows his stuff. He collects terrific pieces and one of a kind items as well. We bought a beautiful hummingbird necklace with nice stones in it. Quality was terrific and if Mario wants a sale and will work with you. (See humorous pic as he also has a sense of humor). Next time you are in the Santa Fe area stop by and see Mario at Onyx and just capture with your eyes the intriguing ie,s on display. Heck even if you are in Albuquerque it is worth the one hour drive. You will definitely find a piece you will want to take and wear. I know if you have something in ,ind and have a photo or drawing of something you want, Mario can get it done. His son, Isaac, is now in the business so that is a good sign next generation will be around for some time to come. Very pleased and glad I stopped by. Ciao, Vino Geno.

We explored all of Santa Fe jewellery shops and finally found my perfect engagement ring at ONYX. It is a very unusual inlay gold ring made by a Navajo craftsman. The staff were all so lovely & helpful. We live in New Zealand and after we went home a piece of inlay fell out. We returned to ONYX and they not only repaired the ring for free, they also gave me a pair of turquoise ear studs. I love this shop and tell everyone I met to go there when in Santa Fe.
