This place has a very interesting history. I encourage you to look it up. I read one of the Trip Advisor reviews said it's a tourist trap. They don't know what they are talking about. I have bought Native American jewelry and pottery at this store. The staff is top-notch. I know more about the pottery than the jewelry in the store. There are well-known Native American artists that come in with their work and sell to the store. They are always getting new things and it's always fun to see what they have new. If you are from out of town and want to considering buying, this place is much more reasonable than places in Santa Fe (which I love going to Santa Fe, don't get me wrong). Anyway, it's overwhelming when you first go in because they are really stocked! But that is part of the fun. Most things are 50 percent off (read on their site) unless it says NET. They buy direct from artists. Love this trading post.

I had been shopping around for authentic but affordable turquoise jewelry in Santa Fe and Albuquerque and this place gave me exactly what I was looking for. Every employee I encountered in the store was extremely friendly and helpful, I had a great experience in the store. I ended up finding a beautiful piece of jewelry for an extremely reasonable price. Highly recommend this place!

My best friend, visits Palms often; this was my first trip.I was in the mood to shop and had much I was looking for.Palms provided all of that and more. There is much to see here; almost all of my purchases were 50% off. I found a nice pot from Jemez Pueblo. Papago baskets were plentiful. The jewelry cases can overwhelm you but the employees are very helpful. Mine patiently, put a half dozen bracelets on me, until I found one by Alex Sanchez. You can find contemporary artist’s work here, which is convenient.I bought a stunning turquoise pendant here as well, artist signed. I love buying direct from the natives outside the Governor’s Palace in Santa Fe; but this is a nice store offering good quality items,in one convenient spot.

I am so glad we stopped at Palms during our most recent trip to Albuquerque. There is a wide variety of jewelry paired with a staff well-educated on the details of their inventory. They will share with you information about specific artists/designers, styles, pueblo areas of focus, and other regional information. My trip to Palms was relaxing, enjoyable, and an all-around positive experience.

A million items, but so much you can't see any of it. Souless but I read very established site for native work. Old Town lets you meet the artists in a smaller venue but if you want to buy a bunch of jewelry and souveniers fast- this is the place.
