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.

Jewelry repair: my wife's unusual Navajo silver earrings came apart recently and as they are…read morefavorites, repair was need. This involved restringing graduated hollow beads onto a chain and finishing the chain end with a jump ring to retain the beads. The original silversmith hadn't soldered the jump rings and one had simply worked its way off the chain. This shop had them repaired and improved within a couple of days, looking as good as new, patina and all...I was asked if we wanted them polished. My favorite watch: a trusted old L.L. Bean field watch, suddenly wouldn't run or would only run briefly. It had always kept perfect time and was a very tough watch...I'd had it and worn it daily for over ten years. Their watchmaker opened it up, discovered the problem immediately and explained that it would need a new movement...no options. I left the watch and payment to cover the new movement as requested. Repair took almost a month...waiting for the new movement, installing it and testing the repaired watch. What can you say about a watch...it now keeps perfect time again and appears to be as waterproof as it was before. I happily paid them the remaining balance and have my trusty old watch back, keeping time perfectly as before. In addition, the movement is an exact replacement...maybe another ten years? Total price was way below the cost of a replacement. Good shop, good service, expert workmanship on the repairs. As good as it gets In my opinion.

As an artist, art walks and art districts are my life. It's not only research; it's also a source of regular inspiration. Canyon Road was dazzling with inspiration. The color that spilled from the galleries, the statuary that peppered the walkways, the road is a visual mapping of creativity. The galleries offer everything from antiquities to modern art, jewelry to textiles, crafts to fine art, open studio spaces to showrooms available for appointment only. There is definitely a southwest-influenced throughline along Canyon Road, but it's also got an international flair. There is a reason it's gained a reputation as a cultural art hub. If you find yourself in Santa Fe or planning a trip there, it is worth scheduling a half day or more for the experience. This "roadside attraction" is guaranteed not to disappoint. The true value in places like this is getting a taste of what it is like to be a part of the area you're visiting.
