tripadvisorWe lucked out by discovering this little gem of Native American local pottery artists. Beautiful pottery and affordable. They also ship to your home location and arrives within a week. We will be returning soon! Note: The shop is small with tight isles, so I would not recommend taking in a stroller. Small children should be watched closely because the pottery exhibits are within their reach.
MoreI am rating Gallery 8 so highly because of excellent customer service that occurred 7 years after a purchase of earrings. One earring was lost and I wrote to ask if it was possible to purchase a matching one or send in the remaining earring for credit toward a new pair. Instead, in return mail, Gallery 8 sent a new pair without a charge and offered to convert the single earring into a pendant for no cost as well! That too, was done promptly. (Dec 2017 was date of correspondence. Original visit was in 2010).
MoreWe really liked looking at the many different items in this gallery. One of the owners was working and she shared many stories about the artists and the balloon festival in October.
MoreAs a collector of Native American jewelry, I was appalled at what is being sold in this shop and shops like it in the old towns in cities in the Southwest. Caveat emptor--much can be imported from overseas, yet is sold as Native American. Gallery 8 is a case in point. Though innocent until proven guilty, this shop's owner was arrested in October 2015 for allegedly importing look alike Native American jewelry from the Philippines and selling it as Native American. Sadly, the scope of this problem is vast across the country, both in shops and online.
MoreWe had such a positive experience with this gallery that I want to recommend them to other visitors. We found a wonderful ring for our daughter here, but it was a bit big. Within an hour they had it resized and perfect. The jewelry selection was excellent with good pricing. We are also very happy with a few gifts that we bought here. Beautiful store, but even better was the attention to the customer and the way above average customer service. We feel great about our experience and I'm sure we will buy from them again on our next visit.
