Santa Fe Gem and Beads is a shop located a block or two off the main square in Santa Fe, easy to locate and park. It is a fun place to play with a terrific variety, tailored to raw beads and stones for makers but with plenty of finished jewelry as well. The shop has an amazing selection of beads and crystals, beautiful flags, and great sale items like unique cards and gift bags. The jewelry is handmade and of high quality. The folks are nice, very helpful, sweet, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. If they do not have something, which is rare, they will refer you elsewhere. The owner really knows his stuff, seems incredibly reasonable and trustworthy, and provides excellent customer service. Many local native jewelers buy stones and beads from here, which is a good sign of their legitimacy. Due to the excellent prices and confidence in their legitimacy, this shop is very highly recommended.
Heart of gold service. Fair prices, good quality and genuine connection to Santa Fe and tribal jewelry artists. It’s fun to be in there and don’t hesitate to ask about events out. I bought beads and Navajo earrings with the artists stamp.
I’m so glad I went!

Beautiful jewelry (namely unique turquoise necklaces) and wonderful customer service. Much better selection than the shops in the Plaza and less crowded.
