Here in Santa Fe, NM, for our annual visit to attend the Wine and Chili Fiesta. A separate review…read moreof the fiesta will be posted shortly. On our first day here, we had to stop by Malouf on the Plaza, a stunning retail store that's been there for over 10 years now. It's a luxury apparel and accessory shop, that, simple put, has an exquisite inventory. Native American jewelry, a wide variety of turquoise, gold and diamond jewelry, leather goods, men's and women's clothing, etc. Great quality, and reasonable prices. Without question, one of the best shops on the plaza! Jesse is our go-to sales rep there. She knows her stuff, and is such a pleasure to work with. We didn't buy anything this time (a first I think), but it was a great visit and so fun to browse while chatting with Jesse. Ask for her if you get a chance to stop by... highly recommend a visit to Malouf on the Plaza!

Yes, the eagerness to help feels a little stepping into a Hyundai car lot, but if you just let someone help you, they'll help you find sizes, help find things that match your taste, and give you some information about the items. Just say no to the scotch guarding and extended warranty.

It holds the distinction of being the oldest jewelry store operating on Santa Fe's Historic Plaza. The offerings here are expensive, but in my opinion there's no guesswork on the authenticity and quality of what you're purchasing. Anytime I'm in town, I make it a point to come in and drool over the bolo tie designs, most of which I can't (or won't?) afford. Like anything else Southwest-wise, I find that it takes awhile to sort through the massive selections to find the precious few that I then obsess over.

I was directed to Ricardo, who repaired it while I waited. I was thrilled that it could be done so quickly as I had driven from Taos. He did a great job, it was affordable, and it looks like it will last for years. The young lady at the register was so friendly too. I would highly recommend Bella Fine Jewelry. And their jewelry is GORGEOUS! Maybe next time...

Unlike other jewelry stores in the plaza the hard sell was absent. We took our time and the wife selected a pair of smooth turquoise earring that will match other jewelry she has.

We've found a new place to buy jewelry. As for the peacock - it was way out of our budget.
