FANTASTIC!! VERY knowledgeable and super friendly!!…read more These guys really, REALLY know their stuff. I've dealt with them three times in the past fifteen years or so - with deceased relative's "collections" - and some of my own. Great, fair prices. Vast selection. I cannot recommend them enough. Literally, one of the most reliable, reputable, and best businesses in Santa Fe. And they've been there a long time! HIGHLY recommended! (And I rarely say that!)

I've recommended Castle Gold & Silver to many friends with mixed reactions. It's not a New York City top tier name brand jewelry store. But that's the point. Most people don't understand that when you buy from a "fashion designer" jewelry brand you're paying a large mark-up for the name. Whereas when you purchase your jewelry from a shop like Castle, you'll be buying the actual value of the precious stones, metal, and workmanship. Oftentimes, you may even find some of those designer jewelry pieces which a customer received as a gift, but decided didn't suit her style. A true find for those of us who don't have the time for shopping trips out-of-town! In all, you can't go wrong by stopping by to see what's new at Castle Gold & Silver!

They are amazing. Love it there. Very friendly and want to help you find the right gift you want…read more They treat you like family. They carry coins, jewelry, they do watch battery replacement, and they are able to resize your ring on sight. Love it there.

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.

Things Finer is a cool little "antique" shop within the Lobby area of La Fonda. The folks here…read morewere very nice, even though I came in fairly tentative, and maybe overwhelmed by the amount of silver-containing items here (including jewelry and silverware). This is the kind of place that might buy my Mom's old silverware set, which is sitting in the closet back home in Genoa Nevada. I'll note that my experience here is on the buying side, rather than selling. I did find a portion of a display case of interest and proceeded to have a nice conversation with a very knowledgeable woman who walked me through each one that I expressed interest. I actually found a nice little "Victorian" sewing case that was very well priced. I haven't yet decided what I'm going to do with it, past admiring the design and craftmanship. But that's part of the fun in places like this, that really require repeat visits to peel back the onion.

The service provided was excellent, including some creative recommendations for how to make pieces work. I highly recommend things finer.
