Jewels & Java — Local services in Gallup

Hello.... I want to tell everyone about this store... I stop in one day selling my art, (kachina) he liked my work. He gave me my asking price. He tried to low bail me.... He was happy with my artwork. If you go in it's that hemis doll... Red with rose..... He then told me to bring him 10 more..... He stated he will be waiting for me.... I made the dolls he ask for...... Little did I know he wanted to cheat me out ..... Yesterday January 24 2025.... I showed up at his store with his order..... Standing there like he didn't order the dolls I made him... He tells me he will pay me 100 per doll that I put my art my talent into.... He didn't want to pay me or get the dolls he ordered..... I went around Gallup trying to get his dolls sold. I didn't have any luck..... They wanted to pay me almost nothing....... I am very disappointed to travel 150 miles to deliver his order and get business in Gallup just to know that they want our work for almost nothing....... These people that sell our art work are selfish greedy and want to pay us almost nothing for our hard work ...... It's time we speak out......

No u did not call you told me to bring them in... No questions....... U act like my work was trash and didn't want to pay nothing.... U shouldn't ask for art u can't afford. This ain't no playing matters.... I am going to BBB...

I ended up buying a few beautiful rings, a piece of horsehair pottery, a Navajo rug, and some unique home accessories for my place. Now, I don’t shop anywhere else. I’ve even sent friends his way and they completely agreed—after checking out stores all over town, his prices are the most reasonable.

What I appreciate most is his respect for Native artisans. His items are fairly priced without the outrageous markups you often see—some places exploit the artists with prices inflated by 300% or more. I understand business is business, but exploitation shouldn’t be part of the equation. Mohammed’s approach is refreshing and...

This place is amazing ! The decor from the outside caught my eye and I had to stop and take a look inside. The owner was the nicest person ever, definitely the kind of business you want to stop by and support. The prices are very reasonable I didn’t feel any need to barter any lower, it was already a great deal ! Definitely stop by and make a purchase if you’re driving through the area and want a...
