i've stopped in this little shop every time I'm in the area and love it! Quality items, reasonably priced. Very nice ppl there, and yes - the 80+ year old owner who's moving a little slower these days, can come off as abrupt sometimes - but engage her in conversation and you'll discover a wonderfully sweet woman with a wealth of knowledge about the surroundings, local history and the backstory to many of her fine items. read more

I love this store for their Native American jewelry. I buy all my gifts here for friends and family. Only thing that I do not like, they are closed at lunch. It seems to me you would be open while people are running errands at lunch? Why close at all, stagger the lunch hour with your employs? read more

Blue Stone - During lunch hour... - Jewelry Near Me - Alamogordo, New Mexico

Very rude people. Don't know what happened to this little business but they don't seem to be interested in making a few bucks anymore

Great spot to do a bit of shopping with excellent informative staff. Had a nice conversation with Anne a great women and exceptional business owner. She's a true Chicago Cubs fan and fortunately I had an extra championship pin in my car to give her. I stopped by in search of a sterling silver Native American bracelet and realized what great Kiev it products they have. I love NM and loved this town so much I may just ask if I can live in their back room. Stop in and see them they have something for everybody. Many real Native made pieces as well. It will take some time to peruse all of their offerings so set a bit of time aside, you won't leave empty handed. Say hi for me. read more

Blue Stone - Jewelry Near Me - Alamogordo, New Mexico

I had a special pendant that was given to me, a Sand Dollar and the chain broke, and I knew the people at The Blue Stone would help me find the perfect chain for it and they did. It's not an over the top pendant but it's special to me, and they still took time to make sure I was satisfied with my purchase. read more

The young lady was polite and friendly. She has the expertise to change the battery in my husband's watches. The cost was fair and reasonable. read more

You MUST stop by here if you're in the area. Plenty of souvenirs, plenty of jewelry - just plenty of everything. I did have an encounter with the older woman with the short gray hair (someone else wrote a 1 star review about her) and at first she was not warm and fuzzy, HOWEVER, she helped me get what I needed to get. As we continued our business together, she warmed up to me. She may have a colder exterior, but she can be helpful. Give her time to warm up to you. Again, check out this store. LOTS of neat items to check out. They fix jewelry, offer souvenirs, and other decorative items for the house. Stop on in! read more

I would call the blue stone a rock/gem and crystals shop on top of a jewelry store personally. They have plenty of lovely jewelry but the quality of the gems here in New Mexico is insane! Perfect gift selection for the holidays coming up. I also recently moved from San Diego so there's a positive price drop there just based on economy but the obsidian and rose quartz here is just beautiful. They have fossils all over the store as well! If it's not healing stones, crystals, or vintage jewelry I'm sure you'll find something very pretty that catches your eye. I know my pictures do not do justice and show a fraction of their treasures so you should probably just drop in and peak inside yourself, and say hi to Ivan (he'll wave back!) Peggy the owner is a friendly face and great conversation who can help assist you with any questions. read more

Had an experience here on the 16th of April and I am extremely disappointed in the sheer lack of respect that this store has for its customers and neighbors. The woman with short, grey hair was snippy and rude with me. Out of no where, she decided to close the store fifteen minutes early with no notice or consideration of me browsing. After she ran up on me, telling me that they were officially closed, I questioned myself as I was leaving because their hours days until 4:30; but she decided it was appropriate to YELL at me that their hours are until 4:15. I am extremely disappointed and upset by this experience. You should be ashamed. read more

Went there yesterday found some amazing amber jewelry. They have an impressive collection of minerals and jewelry.

Great selection of stones, pottery, jewelry, gift items, etc. They had high priced items as well as very reasonably priced things. If you are into these things or need a gift for someone who is, this is the place. So many things there are hand made. Place was a real "gem". :) read more

I was in town for my grandma and uncle's funerals. The ladies behind the counter were gossiping about my uncle, saying horrible things about him and his lifestyle. Someone came into the store who knows my family and introduced me to them. They realized I'd heard everything - You should have seen their faces. This happened a few years ago. I'm back in town to see family and drove by the store, decided to finally leave this review. Bunch of bigoted bitches. Also heard they have no problem selling stolen merchandise. Buyers beware. read more

Buyers beware of fakes being sold at this store. I purchased a 1921 peace dollar and later discovered that it was a "copy coin". Per federal law to legally sell it, the coin needs to be marked as a copy coin. This coin was not marked as a copy. I should have caught it before leaving the store, but it was not in my hands long enough to catch it before checking out. Later I found the weight was incorrect (17g vs 26g) and it was magnetic. The obverse and reverse were not correctly aligned either. When I returned the coin, the owner of store accused me of switching out the coin and basically calling me a liar. She did refund my money only after I stated that we can get the police and courts involved in this to settle. She asked me to never enter her store again which I already made up my mind to never do anyway LOL. The owner is an extremely angry example of a human being, I was and am still fully ashamed of her actions. Hopefully she seeks help and can find some peace in her life and some to share with others. If you buy or have bought jewelry, coins or precious metals from this shop I would recommend that you have it tested by a third party. read more

It's been a few years but this is a great store. Friendly helpful people. Lots of Native American jewelry. I recommend.

Just moved to the area and had the pleasure of meeting Peggy the owner and her family owned business. Too many things to list but here it goes... JADE, Rose Quartz, Mescalero Apache and various other Native American works. DISHES WITH FOSSILS! HUGE sticks of White Sage, massive amounts of jewelry with gem stones from everywhere. We plan on purchasing a hefty amount for friends back in San Diego. MASSIVE selection of gems that we plan on picking through every week since the selection is so vast and we find something new every time. Peggy was even kind enough to bless us with a few items that were hand selected with rich history. WE ARE CLIENTS! Everyone is professional, well read and extremely knowledgeable, including Ivan their parrot! SEE YOU AT THE BLUE STONE! read more

This place is truly amazing! Staff is super helpful and friendly, the prices are reasonable, there are so many amazing things to see, and they have a blue McCaw named Ivan! Perfect store in my book! read more

Found some great authentic Native pieces here! The staff is super friendly, attentive and the prices were neat what you'd expect to pay for the pieces you want - nice jewelry is a bit higher but a lot of the hand crafted Native jewelry is reasonable! There's a wide variety of items as well...from toys to fine jewelry. I love this shop and will definitely stop again on my next visit! read more

Blue Stone - Just a few of the items we picked! - Jewelry Near Me - Alamogordo, New Mexico

Fantastic and quick service. My mom recently passed and my dad gave me one of her rings to wear to her funeral only a few days later. I explained the situation, and that I needed the ring resized in the next 2 days. They did it in 6 hours! And only $21!! read more

Could I live in this shop? Yes, please! Fantastic selection of beautiful and unique stones. If you're in town this is a must see. Very helpful and friendly staff, knowledgeable on everything from jewelry to rattle snakes to wild birds. There's also a big bird in the back which talks to you. :-) really magical space all around! read more

Blue Stone - Hummingbird earrings that I got for my yogini mom. Aren't these artistic and unique? Great find! - Jewelry Near Me - Alamogordo, New Mexico

Wow !don't call this lady on the telephone what a serious attitude! Called wanting to buy some turquoise stone that we had purchased there in the past but we no longer live in NM so wanted to see about having some shipped the owner immediately got snippy and basically started arguing with us.We called during this covid crisis so you would think they would want the business . I would go somewhere else or shop on online for you supplies probably cheaper and definitely nicer service !! read more

Steer clear of unethical practices with in the Blue Stone , I bought a wedding ring set for $400.00 plus tax in July of 2018 , with the understanding that I could trade the set in for a more expensive set at a future date , on April 29 2019 I wanted to purchase a more expensive wedding set and was told that the original set that they sold me was worth only $250.00 in trade towards the newer set . My $400.00 set was referred to as "scrap" by the counter lady and their UNCERTIFIED appraiser / jeweler by the name of KELLY . I was also informed that had I came in earlier , it would have made a difference in pricing , essentially telling me that the original set had a "shelf life", which is ridiculous , I am contacting the Better Business Bureau and the owner PEGGY DAVIS via certified mail that the Blue Stone's business practice is shameful and deceitful . I had no choice to opt out and am taking this opportunity to inform the buying public of "Be Aware" of this operation , it is not on the up and up . E. G. from Tularosa read more

If I were wanting to illustrate how to alienate customers and ruin a business I would choose The Blue Stone as the poster child.   The woman behind the counter (with the shoulder length gray hair) was the most hateful and negative person I have ever encountered in a business.  If I were the owner and witnessed the way she went out of her way to be ugly to people I would fire her on the spot.  Even if they were giving the merchandise away for free I would never set foot in there again as long as this lady is there.  Just know that she will say hateful things about every customer the minute they leave the store.  Sometimes even while they are still in the store.   I witnessed this as I was browsing the merchandise close to the counter.  Simply shameful. read more

Store has some great finds however I will never step foot in this shop again due to the rude customer service. It was my first time there and my husband and I were checking out and paying however the two ladies on staff were in a huff because they close during lunch time. Great! When we were made aware of that we made it a point to apologize profusely multiple times and hurry out of the store. On the final apology my husband gave, one of the women pointed around and said "well there are signs about it everywhere." In a rude manner. My husband said "you know what. Don't bubble wrap the wind chime. We'll manage as is. Thanks." And we walked out. The gentleman behind the counter was very nice and did apologize to us as we left. However this is no way to treat customers, much less paying customers. The store has signs about everything. About the cute pet macaw, about all sales being final, to not open displays on your own, to not pull gem stands and ask for assistance. I'm sorry that we didn't take the time to read ALL the stupid signs ALL over the store. It's sensory overload. If you want to close on time for lunch kindly announce 10 mins before, 5 before, now closed. A nice overall experience ruined by 5 seconds of interaction. What a shame. The real kicker is that they close for lunch at 12:30 and we were out of there at 12:35. read more

Three stars because I love Blue Stone as a shop, but the lady that works there with the short grey hair is extremely rude! I am not the first person to encounter thd behavior from her. How can you work in such a beautiful store and act so hateful. You'd think they want business, but she is definitely turning TONS of people away. read more

Extremely rude staff. I bought a ring for a girlfriend. Things didnt work out and i went to return this ring. The lady working was very rude and our conversation ended with her throwing the ring at me and told me to take my business elsewhere. read more

An eclectic collection of all decorations Southwest. And a huge Macau in back to boot! The assortment of jewelery is no doubt the largest in the area, although prices are somewhat higher than Del Sol in Tularosa. Staff is very helpful. They do jewelry repair here and the place has this really authentic Old West feel to it. A local standard... read more

Awesome jewelry, very unique. Friendly staff, and the bird is a hoot! Always fun to stop in and see what's new. I've purchased a few pieces from them, and it would be my first choice for any jewelry repair. Highly recommend. read more

Very interesting little place full of Native American jewelry and stuff. Come here if you'd like to window shop or want to get a cool gift for someone. read more

This place has a vast collection of gorgeous Southwest style jewelry. A friend and I came in here to browse one day and the woman who helped us (I believe she was the owner) was so friendly and excited to have us in and show us her collection. I really don't remember the pricing since I wasn't the one shopping, but my friend (who is always looking for a good deal) bought a few things so I'm guessing it wasn't too bad. Definitely a cool little store with some very unique items! read more

If you take a watch in for a new battery, make sure NOT to get the young guy to do the job. I have a watch that is set by automatic radio signal. The young fellow, after putting in a new battery, tried to set the current time manually - making my watch unusable. It keeps perfect time about 1 hour 45 minutes ahead - all the time. read more

Beautiful jewelry, friendly staff, awesome parrot. One of my favorite shops to visit in town.

I've had jewelry repaired here before and they did a fantastic job. Something has changed...Took a ring in to have stone replaced, was given a quote and told maybe a week. Called well after a week to inquire, was told they had been trying to call me and had left several messages, none came in on my phone and my voicemail is not full... was told the ring was too difficult to fix and referred me somewhere else. Why would they give an estimate in the first place ???? Unacceptable read more

We had so much fun at this store! There's something for everyone and in every price range. We bought a beautiful crystal, horse fetish, and small roadrunner kachina. If you go now and spend $50, you get to choose a gift from the tree! We received a $10 gift certificate. Definitely worth a stop and easy to get to. read more

a great place for Unique gifts specializes in southwest decor it's a locally owned and run family business. took my mom here when she was visiting and couldn't get her to leave there is just a lot to choose from and it's moderately priced as well. read more

Don't miss this little Gem! Lots to see with very reasonable prices. I plan to stop by on my next visit to Alamogordo!

I WOULD GIVE IT LESS THAN 1 STAR IF I COULD! I received my grandmas wedding ring after she passed away, it was well worn after 70 years of marriage, so I tool the ring in to get it repaired. I told the man what i needed (I'm not a jeweler so i wasn't familiar with the technical term) he gave me a quote I asked if there was any way i could get it expedited. He said sure for an additional fee. I was OK with that. a week after he promised it (with the extra fee) he claimed he still hadn't finished it because he couldn't find the correct band size... Ugh aren't you a jeweler? Cant you make the back of the ring stronger & thinker with out slapping another ring onto the back? I called a few times over the course of the next 2 weeks, but it still wasn't finished. I finally was very frustrated, I went in to find out what was going on with my ring & asked to see it & it looked like he had soldered copper wire to the back! MY KINDERGARTNER COULD HAVE DONE A BETTER JOB! I was devastated & left with my ring in had crying. There was no explanation or apology offered. I will NEVER GO THERE AGAIN! I did however find a great Jeweler in Ruidoso (Johnston's Jewelers) to fix it, he did an AMAZING job! I told him the story & he even cut me a break on the price because I was so traumatized over what Blue Stone did... read more
