Two Feathers Gallery Inc — Local services in Melbourne

I stumbled across Two Feathers Gallery on our trek through Old Melbourne in 2017’s Small Business Saturday and, boy, was I glad that I did! I spoke with the owners and they got these original pieces where I had gotten some of the same kinds of pieces in Santa Fe, NM. I started to speak about the Native American artisans and how they were set up in this square and the owners completed my story! They told me that they travel there every summer on their jaunt through the West to get pieces to bring back to FL. I was amazed that their prices were not much more than what I had paid in Santa Fe. They said their reason for going out West was not to make a fortune off the Native Americans, but to bring their craftsmanship back to the East. I ended up spending quite a bit of money there last year. All the people that I gave gifts to raves about them and the really good thing was seeing the gifts worn throughout the year! If you haven’t checked out Two Feathers you should.

By the way, I just read the post that we’re posted before mine. I had to ad an addendum to my post: None of the things those post said were anything I found in my experiences. It sounde to me like the people that wrote those post had never seen true Native American artistry. If they wanted it any cheaper than it was they should have been born in the times where Native Americans were treated as savages and most of their hard work was stolen rather than bought and traded for fairly! The quality at this store was truly some of the finest that I experienced when I was buying silver pieces out West. This store, unless it has dramatically changed in 1 year, has been given a bad rap by the other post. In fact it didn’t sound like they came from people who bought the beautiful pieces in Two Feathers, but people who were just being mean because they weren’t able to use...

If I could give this place a negative star review, I would. Came in simply to get information on some Navajo items, I was ignored when trying to ask a question, when I finally was able to get help, the woman at the middle counter was incredibly rude. Absolutely profiling me as a young woman coming in with fake items, saying it wasn’t stamped and it was most likely nickel plated. She treated us as if we were a waste of her time, like what I had was worthless when in fact it has a sterling stamp, and the Harry Morgan stamp which they also didn’t seem to know who that was. As a store specializing in native jewelry, you would think they would know exactly who that was. Mind you, I wasn’t here to sell, I was here to be directed on where to go/how I could care for them. If you want to be judged/profiled before you even get to speak to someone, this is your place. Other than that, I wouldn’t spend a dime here or waste your time walking in. Rudest customer service experience I ever encountered, for simply trying to get information or directed. Since these items are worth upwards of 5k-10k. When I asked if these could be cleaned by a regular jeweler or someone who specializes in vintage native jewelry cleaning, she responded with “well why wouldn’t you be able to go to a regular jeweler to get it cleaned.” But hey, that’s fine! Genuinely so disappointed on the lack of respectful communication over very polite and simple questions. To the white haired lady behind the middle counter, you need a serious lesson in respect and compassion, especially if you’re going to work with the public. -1000000 stars from me, highly highly do...

I love Two Feathers Gallery! Almost every special occasion we have I choose my gift with my husband, from Two Feathers. The owners are extremely knowledgeable about their merchandise and everything is unique and one of a kind. It’s like a treasure hunt. Over the years I have collected a beautiful group of one of a kind pieces. I’m not sure the people who have bashed this store know what they are looking at. This is handmade jewelry, not stamped out by China! There are Chines turquoise pieces out there that you can buy for very little but are no comparison to the beautiful pieces In this gallery. It’s like comparing a piece of handmade furniture to a piece from Rooms to Go. I have been out west and these prices are very reasonable. Everything is so one of a kind and not mass produced. I would so much rather have a piece of this jewelry than a diamond or CZ that look like a zillion others! Support stores like this, do we want Wal Marts everywhere? Yikes! God no! I love...
