This is the* hidden gem off the Plaza. She has so many great, unique, local pieces. In almost any case she knows the artist and the history. I'm a small collector and she always impresses me not just with gems and silver work, but also with which custom belt maker, jewelry repair shop to use, and all the critical other details. A couple things: She is a serious expert and appreciates those with a passion for great work. Take your time, there are layers of super cool finds. read more

Amazing store with fantastic selection of drop dead gorgeous pieces and fair prices! Owner will help you find the perfect piece for your budget! read more

I have done business with Sissels since 1998, in her former location and in the current location. She is well known in Santa Fe and the southwestern. United States is having top-of-the-line authenticate Indian jewelry at reasonable prices. It's always been a pleasure doing business with her. If you get a chance stop by and look over her huge selection and tell her Bill Corley recommended her. read more

Sissel's (like Sissel herself) is a treasure! I'd almost missed it when in town - I mean, you can't throw a rock without hitting a silver jewelry store in Sante Fe, but I'm so glad I stopped in after breakfast at Tia Sophias. I will tell you no one had the selection and the service that Sissel offered. She was so kind and helped me find the exact pair of earrings I'd been wanting - something silver and a little more modern but still using the beautiful native turquoise. You might be surprised to meet a Norwegian-run business like this in NM, but after all her years in the States and running this business, she's a pro and unbelievably kind and helpful. I will think of her as a friend after our encounter and will be back to visit as soon as I get back to town. Thanks for the best souvenir! read more

This incredible shop displays a plethora of fine Native American and Southwestern jewelry. The owner is always present and extremely knowledgeable, offering backgrounds into the artists who created many of her pieces. Santa Fe is a city like no other and SISSEL'S is a stop that is an event you shouldn't miss read more

Wow! We have been buying turquoise and silver jewelry for 20 years and this store is one of the best we have ever visited. The selection is incredible. Sissel is so knowledgeable and offered personal service to help us find the perfect pieces. We ended up buying a bracelet and ring and the price was very reasonable. The night before we had looked at places on the square and their prices were at least 30% more. I am so glad we found her shop. Definitely worth finding this store while visiting Santa Fe, even just to look through the store's massive inventory read more

Friendly and helpful! I was overwhelmed by Sissel's extensive selection, in a good way. She has a great eye for gauging taste; I'm very satisfied with the reasonably priced vintage rings she offered to complement the one I wore that day. The newer collection of men's rings had beautiful designs I had never seen before! read more

My wife and I are visiting Santa Fe for the first time and went to Sissel's on a recommendation from someone at our hotel. Unfortunately I have to say that it was an all together horrible experience. I'm not going into a blow by blow account of what happened but I will say that it's completely inappropriate for a store proprietor to ask customers how they feel about the recent presidential election. When I politely tried to skirt the issue she just kept asking questions and wanted to debate the merits of the outcome. All of this while also communicating to us that she was from Norway and didn't have voting rights yet. Needless to say that she lost our business and we will never recommend this place to anyone. If you feel like shopping for jewelry without being confronted about your political choices don't go here!!! read more

Sissel's is an amazing Native American store in Santa Fe! I was fascinated at the quantity and quality of her extensive collection. We visited many stores in Santa Fe. Sissel's is one of the very best! If you are looking for something special, I bet she has it. Also her prices seem very good, compared to other shops in the Santa Fe Plaza area. Sissel was very helpful, patient and took her time telling us about several pieces. She is an excellent salesman and is very knowledgeable about her merchandise. She has a very large collection of jewelry and other Native American merchandise. Her pieces are authentic and of the highest quality. Sissel is the owner and has had her stores in Santa Fe for 36 years. Sissels is conveniently located very close to the Santa Fe Plaza, near the El Dorado hotel. My daughter and I highly recommend this store in Santa Fe! read more

Great jewelry! Good prices! I've been several times and never disappointed! Love this place!

Sissel's is amazing store and truly top of the line in Santa Fe. She has only authentic pieces that she hand selects and each piece has the name of the designer/creator. Sissel herself (the owner) is the sweetest most patient person ever. Her customer service is top notch. She let me take as much time as I want to pick my piece and now I'll cherish it forever. Sissel's collection is amazing and I literally cannot recommend her boutique enough. read more

See all

Our friend in Texas recommended we stop in to visit this store as she has a home here and has shopped at Sissel's for 30+ years. We had been looking for some rings for my honey, for days. While we did see some very nice items at the more exclusive shops on the plaza, they were extremely overpriced. In a few stores, we even had strong suspicion items were not authentic. The moment we walked into Sissel's, we felt comfortable we were in the right place. We spent at least an hour looking at items. While the store was very busy, Sissel was extremely accommodating and friendly and gave us the right amount of attention since we were looking at 5-7 trays of rings at a time. While we were shopping, a man came in to purchase a bracelet for himself. He had been to every shop in the past 24 hours and came back and purchased 2 beautiful men's bracelets. He said that Sissel's was by far the best shop in Santa Fe. We feel the same way. With out a doubt, before you shop at any stores in the plaza, walk into Sissel's. You will not be sorry you did. read more

My wife and I have purchased from Sissel's for years and it's always a pleasant experience. A huge selection of beautiful jewelry at every price range. We enjoy just looking at the amazing inventory. Sissel is great. She has always been friendly and helpful and we always enjoy seeing her. Nicest and friendliest jewelry store in town. read more

I have shopped at Sissel's since the mid-1990s... Sissel always has amazing Jewlery, the quality is phenomenal. In my early 20s, I bought numerous hair pieces from Sissel, clips with stones, an all silver feather hairclip... earrings, stone pendants, and bracelets... Sissel has always been a joy to see and visit with... we love buying for ourselves from her and for gifts for those special people in our lives! Can't recommend Sissel's enough! I'll post photos soon... read more

Sissel's is the absolute best in Santa Fe, packed with beautiful Jewelry and art, my family and I have spent many hours looking at and purchasing jewelry for ourselves although her store is busy she always goes out of her way to make time for her guests. I highly recommend Sissel for her fine quality of items and the knowledge she shares read more

I had visited Sissel's amazing store 5 years ago and bought 2 pairs of earrings that I wear often and always get numerous compliments. When a business trip brought me back to Santa Fe, I revisited the store. Her selection of jewelry is fantastic and I bought a fabulous bracelet and a necklace. She knows her business and I trust her commitment to quality. read more

Incredible selection of Native American jewelry. Her prices are really fair! My cheap boyfriend even bought himself a ring (this is HUGE, he usually only spends money on car parts). read more

I knew exactly what I wanted and found the perfect earrings. The store is small, but beautifully stocked. Everything on display was easy to see and just beautiful. The owner's love for her store and commitment to her customers was evident. To those who complained about her being grumpy, go back and visit again. I think you will realize the atmosphere (no photos and no placing of your pocketbooks on the glass or on textiles) is not a negative, but a positive that illustrates the owner's commitment to keeping all merchandise in top shelf condition. read more

I shopped there in August of 2019. I think we we went there 3 times. I loved her, her shop and service. Just talking with her, of course she was busy but made time to get to everyone, I was still looking, each time you we went in I would see something different that I did see the first time. Made several purchases very happy with them. Missy Georgetown, Kentucky read more

Stopped in Sissel's this morning during a visit to Santa Fe after reading so many positive reviews. We were not disappointed! The owner is absolutely lovely and took the time to tell us about different pieces and help us select the perfect earring and necklace set. She was knowledgeable and helpful without being pushy, which I so appreciated after being hounded by salespeople at several other stores in the vicinity. The quality is stunning and prices are affordable. Feeling very confident that we will be back. read more

I had a wonderful time exploring the store and talking to Sissel. There is so.much to see that it could seem overwhelming but she was happy to help and talk me through it. read more

I have a large Indian jewelry collection that I have amassed over the last 60 years. Sissel's has the largest best priced array I have ever seen. I thought I had died and gone to heaven!. I was Almost speechless. I can not tell you how terrific her pieces are. There are gorgeous items in all price ranges. It was so difficult to decide what to choose. The owner is a delightful extremely knowledgeable woman who knows quality and design. She is eager to talk about stone's, artists.and designs many of the pieces.. Sissel's was the highlight of my trip. I shopped the entire square for two days and give her my highest rating. I will come to Santa Fe from Maryland to visit this shop. What a treat. If you are in the market for Indian Jewelry or silver pieces visit this place first. . You can't imagine the depth of her collections. If you want it, she's got it. Happy hunting . You won't be sorry. read more

Recently in town and needed some silver barrettes. Not a high end item, nor did I expect to receive personal attention from the manager of the store. Not only did they have several to chose from, but I was impressed with the quality of other items displayed. Prices are reasonable, and I have to say that the service was excellent. Thank you! read more

I don't have a dog, never tried to take pictures and I'm sure you'll have another excuse for being rude.

My husband was looking for a sterling money clip with turquoise. We stopped in almost every Native American jewelry store within walking distance of the Plaza. Some stores had a few, many had none. Sissel's was our last stop as we headed back to our hotel. Sissel had not one, but two trays(!!) of money clips featuring a variety of styles created by different artists with and without stones. She was very knowledgeable about the designs and symbolism and spent a good deal of time with us. My husband had a tough time deciding which one to purchase, and I ended up buying a beautiful sterling belt buckle and tip set along with a nice leather belt, which Sissel assembled on the spot Sissel has a phenomenal selection of Native American made items, not just jewelry. I highly recommend stopping at Sissel's and hope to make it back there someday! read more

Sissel's - Sterling belt buckle, two loops and tip. - Jewelry Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

Sissel's is a Santa Fe treasure! The selection of Native American jewelry is second to none. Vintage and new; color-coordinated. When you first walk in the store you'll be awestruck by the quantity and quality of pieces because it's unlike anything you'll see in Santa Fe if anywhere. I know I hadn't seen anything like it. I went back several times just to take everything in. I visited all of the other stores in town (and Taos), and it all started looking the same. Sissel's isn't like that; you'll see something and say "That's it!". I ended up purchasing two men's cuffs and a vintage belt buckle. And Sissel herself is worth getting to know! Very direct, knows her stuff, dedicated to being the best retailer of southwest jewelry, decades of experience. I live on the east coast and would go back to Santa Fe just to visit Sissel and her store. Go to Sissel's ... You will not be disappointed! read more

My all-time favorite place for jewelry in Santa Fe. Reasonable prices, but more importantly, beautiful jewelry and accessories. Everything from earrings to belts to money clips and even a silver saddle. All high quality as she works directly with Native American artistS. Highly recommend a stop-in when in Santa Fe! She's just off the square near the Lyceum Theater. You'll find something you can't live without! read more

I'm obsessed with Sissel and her store. One of the rare shops in Santa Fe that has quality pieces without being pretentious or intimidating. Prices are SO reasonable. I'll be back for sure. read more

My story with Sissel is one that goes from Sept 2018 to Jan 18, 2019 and in case you don't want to read it just know that she is super HONEST, KNOWLEDGABLE and CUSTOMER CENTRIC and has one of the largest selections of quality jewelry in Santa Fe. I was in Santa Fe on holiday and found a silver cuff bracelet that I loved at a jewelry store in the main square in town. It was gorgeous but pricey but the designer/maker was in the store at the time which made it that much more attractive. I continued shopping around the town because it was a big decision to make and happened to pop into Sissel's store which was just up the road from my hotel. I found the same bracelet and Sissel was so personable and engaging and offered a slightly discounted price so I purchased the cuff. I wore it that evening and realized that it was too big so the next day went into Sissel's again to discuss. We decided that she would wait until the designer came in with more sizes and she would mail it to me. That's where the fun began. Sissel and I mailed the cuff back and forth 4 times trying to get the fit right. The cuff is difficult to fit because it has to mirror the exact shape of your wrist, not just the circumference of your wrist. I just received the 4th version and it fits like a glove and is absolutely stunning. I can't think of another person who would have stuck it out with me trying to get the right fit. Sissel didn't charge for all her mailing back to me either. Thanks Sissel - I really really appreciate your efforts. read more

Wow! An amazingly patient and knowledgeable owner, Sissel let us pour through her many, many cases looking for the perfect item to take home. My daughter loved a sweet ring that Sissel sized, and I bought two pieces that make me very happy and will always remind me of a fantastic holiday. So happy we wandered in! read more

As a lifetime New Mexican, I've been searching for the perfect turquoise necklace for quite some time. After being in Santa Fe for a few days and having time to look around at all the shops and my options, I ended up in Sissel's shop and it was my favorite part of my trip! I had a great conversation with her and her passion and appreciation for small business and the native culture was evident. She was incredibly knowledgeable and I learned so much about the jewelry I was picking out. I ultimately left with the necklace I had envisioned myself buying for so long and a beautiful pendant to add to my collection. I cannot wait to head back for gifts and future purchases for myself! read more

Visited downtown Sissel's twice in one day. First visit we bought a few pieces at a great price and quality but wanted to look around Santa Fe a little more before buying more jewelry just to check prices. Spent several hours looking and pricing but couldn't find a better deal and quality than Sissel's so returned for more later that afternoon! Her jewelry was just as nice or nicer than the best shops in town. Huge huge selection! Sissel herself was very friendly and knowledgeable - enjoyed talking with her. We definitely will return! read more

Lovely jewelry. Huge selection. Pretty good prices. DO NOT go on a Sunday unless you're prepared to listen to the shopowner tell you how hard she works and that you should be sure to place the piece you looked at exactly where it came from in the slotted display. "I work seven days a week, by choice! I don't have time to put everything back!" Very odd. She treated two middle-aged, clearly middle-class women as if we might run off with everything in the store if she turned her back on us. read more

Today was my first visit to Sissel's Fine Quality Indian Jewelry, and I was overwhelmed by the variety, quality and beauty found there. I don't know why I ever looked anywhere else for jewelry! Sissel was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable in aiding me in finding what looked best on me and was what I desired. This the best place to shop in Santa Fe! read more

As a native of Santa Fe, I am familiar with all the shops in town. Sissel is a long time NM resident with the best selection and fairest prices by far. She knows the native artisans. For the best selection and prices, visit her store! I refer all my friends and visitors from out of state here. read more

I have been dealing with Sissel's Fine Quality INDIAN Jewelry for over 15 years. She always has a varied and high quality collection by some of the best artists with whom she has a long and respected relationship. She is easy to work with and knowledgeable so you can be assured of finding just the right piece to keep Santa Fe in your fond memories. read more

My daughter& I visited Sissel's in Oct. of 2020 and I could not buy anywhere else after meeting Sissel. She is the most wonderful lady and she knows so much about the Native American jewelry. She also had many other things in her shop that were outstanding. We bought jewelry and pottery. I know that I will be going back hopefully next year to see her and buy some more beautiful jewelry from her. This was my daughter's 2nd time to go to Santa Fe, NM and we hope to try and make it a yearly trip for us. Thanks Sissel for making our shopping experience a time to remember. read more

Sissel's Fine Quality Indian Jewelry was my favorite jewelry place besides KESHi. Sissel's has a big variety of jewelry. Everything is beautiful and great priced. If it's $100 or more, she will give you a discount. She is very patient. This is one of my favorite places in Santa Fe. I would highly recommend this place. read more

The rudest place I've ever shopped in. We walked out because the blonde lady is as rude as it gets. Too many other lovely places to shop to give this place a dime. Go to malouf's on the plaza where they are welcoming and do not run you out. read more

Visited while on vacation this past week. The shop owner was helpful.
