We were visiting Santa Fe and wanted to buy a special turquoise bracelet. The first njght we explored the stores right on the square but found that the stores didn't have the vintage pieces we were looking for at a fair price. After looking through online reviews we found a recommendation for Turquoise House so I stopped in. The owner is wonderful! He was so kind and really spent the time getting to know us and what we were interested in. When I found a signed vintage piece that was out of my price range, he worked with us to get it to a price we could manage. We left feeling like we had a new friend in the business. When we looked further at the hallmark and researched the artist more, we found that the piece we bought is valued at 30% more than we paid. Not that we will ever sell it. I know this review sounds a little gushy but just look at the photo and you'll get it. read more

The owner, Joe, great personality, extremely helpful on selection and styles, also very witty and engaging. My wife bought a turquoise ring and band, one needed resizing, but Joe had it ready the next day. Highly recommend the Turquoise House! read more

Owner is a only nice if you're spending money. He was incredibly rude and disrespectful. I brought 2 sterling silver rings for $125 each. I told him the intent was to have matching couples rings for me and my wife to have when we don't want to wear our wedding rings. The same day I gave the ring to my wife, after 4 hours of wearing it, she noticed a stone was missing. I returned to the store less than 24 hours of purchase and explained I wanted to return them as I needed rings that could hold up longer than 4 hours. He immediately started to blame me saying she must have hit her hand on something. I explained the reason I was alone was she was actually sick and on the couch the entire time with the ring and did not hit anything. Then he says "we all get sick" and that he thinks she must have just not liked it and we intentionally must have chiseled the stone out (although there was no scratches or evidence of this) in order to return it. I told him I didn't appreciate being called a liar and we wouldn't even know how to take a stone out. Another customer came in and he finally changed demeanor about 5 min later of arguing and I causing me to shake and get really upset. I'm a very fair and honest person and really don't like confrontation but I will not have anyone disrespect me or my wife like that. Stay far far away. He also gave me the creeps the first day awkwardly side hugging me out of nowhere. He really shouldn't touch people without asking that he doesn't know the background as I have been assaulted and it made me very uncomfortable. read more

Great selection of beautiful, high-quality jewelry. Good pricing, great service.

Went here based on Yelp review. Shop had exactly what I wanted and excellent service. Will be back!

Great customer service and the selection of jewelry is pretty impressive for the size of the store. I will definitely go back when I am in Santa Fe again. read more

The owner was very helpful and friendly. He answered my questions about turquoise and particular pieces I was looking at. He has a very large selection of turquoise items. He was very knowledgeable and I didn't feel pressured to make a purchase. read more

This was the first shop we hit in Santa Fe and the owner, Joe, couldn't have been friendlier or more hospitable. When I mentioned I was looking for a small piece of uncut turquoise for my 5 year old grandson's collection, he gave me a small piece gratis. I went back a few days later to purchase a turquoise and silver heart necklace. It was quite reasonably priced, a high quality name brand, beautiful and a big hit with my wife. If you need jewelry or related turquoise artwork - check out the Turquoise House! read more

Joe is hands down the best, with the best jewelry, with the best prices. I was drawn here as if by magic and can't wait to return. Love this place and look forward to visiting again and again. read more

Joe Hamad is a really good man. I thought that was an important place to start this review. We visited Turquoise House yesterday and bought a beautiful necklace and earring set. We will cherish the jewelry and experience for a long long time. Joe allowed to touch and try on all of the pieces in his shop. He was knowledgeable and respectfully playful and it made our experience really memorable. We will visit his store any time we return to Santa Fe. read more

Turquoise House - Here is a picture that displays the beautiful Native American turquoise. - Jewelry Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

We first entered Joe's TURQUOISE HOUSE (right under the COYOTE ROOFTOP BAR on W Water) 7 years ago with dear friends who live nearby. Friends had gotten authentic Native-Made jewelry & art for decades. Joe has a great selection that changes depending on what estates & artists bring their treasures to him. Whatever your budget, Joe can accommodate it. We couldn't decide on which Squash Blossom to get for my birthday, a Spiny Oyster more modern style or the Bear Claw version. After taking the orange oyster & walking the 4 minutes back to the Square, unknown to me, my husband had the Bear Claw & shipped COD to his office for Christmas. The All-Star Native Jewelry makers & talented unknowns are represented in Joe's cases plus the wooden sculptors, weavers, ceramic artists. We've brought family & friends for earrings, rings, kachinas & other Decors. Joe is knowledgeable & shows you how to tell if "turquoise" is hard & shined (natural) or tailings from the US mines sent to China for laminating into slabs. We've gotten Old Pawn & new pieces from Joe. My husband & his brother got inlaid stone rings from a Zuni artist & when the silver sizing broke years later, we sent it to Joe to repair. He also had a great 1963 squash blossom necklace from a now played-out mine restrung. I've shipped him items I bought in Silver City, Tucson, etc. for repair. I can trust Joe to create or repair anything well & for honest prices. We've looked for years to replace a green turquoise Squash Blossom set we purchased in 1990 that got stolen. Joe located not one but two possible replacements & for a much better price than the shops on the Square & both from mines that are mostly mined-out. We try to visit every couple of years. Sometimes we don't have the extra cash for big investments but Joe's selection of rings, pendants, earrings, wrist cuffs still let us bring a little authentic Santa Fe back to Texas, Colorado, Arizona or southern New Mexico. We missed seeing Joe during CoVid but hope to visit this fall. Our daughter is bringing her diamonds from her grandma to Joe for creation of a custom bridal set for her & her fiancée. We've learned not to buy Turquoise except from brick & mortar stores that have been around for a while & with good reputations. Joe is good soul & his store is a locally-known treasure. Get a belt buckle, bolo or some art & enjoy the cocktails & noshes upstairs afterward at the Coyote. Super service, wide selection & a great guy who'll make you want to come back for more. read more

After nearly 30 years of searching for a small squash blossom necklace I could afford, we stumbled into Joe's shop and I found it. He reduced the price to make it affordable enough for me. Because he's not on the central plaza, his prices are very competitive. It's important to him that you love the piece you buy so he'll work with you on pricing...even offering lay away. He's amazingly kind and has a great eye for unique designs. I'm sure I'll be back many times! read more

The owner is so nice and the store is amazing. Jose gave us a great deal. Will be back.

The owner is rude and belligerent. Apparently he owns the parking lot? Anyway, he touched and pushed my hand when I told him we were parked in a spot because we were going to that business. Absolutely a horrible human being. Zero stars. read more

Great experience at Turquoise House! The owner is an amazing man with a great heart! I bought great earrings! We are already planning a trip back tomorrow! Thank you!! read more

Turquoise House - Jewelry Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

Came in a few weeks ago and Joe Hamad was there to help us out. It was a great little store that had some nice jewelry in the the old towne plaza area. After looking I spotted something that caught my eye. I put the bracelet on and really liked it but we had just gotten into Santa Fe so wanted to look around some more. Joe had no problem with that and told me that he would wear it so no one would buy it while we shopped around. After walking around and viewing many many things in Santa Fe I knew this was the right bracelet for me. It was unique and so different than all the other things I had seen in town. So we walked back to the shop and sure enough he had it on his wrist. After we chatted and laughed for we told him it was now used since he was wearing it. Joe gave us a good deal on on a great bracelet which I so enjoy. Would encourage all to stop in and look around you just might find what your looking for. read more

Joe was absolutely THE BEST! Such a memorable experience buying our wedding bands! Can't give him enough praises!!

If you are a turquoise lover, look no further. Joe's shop is wonderful and so is Joe. He has a great selection of jewelry and pottery. He is friendly and warm and not salesy at all. He was even flexible and on pricing for all the pieces and gave even more of a discount as I bought multiple items. Definitely one of the best shops we visited near the Plaza in Santa Fe! read more

Regardless of what you are looking for in jewelery this shop is owned and run by the most honest man you would want to buy from! Trust and honesty is hard to find so be confident if you decide to shop here read more

My sisters and I went into the shop after we saw the SALE sign. I immediately found a ring I loved, but it was too expensive for my budget. Joe, kept reducing the price until I could afford it. But it was too big - no problem! He called his jeweler and had it sized for me in 15 minutes. Then much to my disappointment, I noticed a crack forming in the stone after I flew home. No problem! I sent it back and Joe had another stone put into the setting. read more
