The Golden Eye — Local services in Santa Fe

After visiting The Golden Eye, and talking to the ravishingly lovely Patrice Ray, I asked my mom if this was the store she had bought some of her jewelry from whilst in Santa Fe. It was! My mom has quite a few pieces from The Golden Eye. My mom is Egyptian and was a professional travel writer for many years owning The Gallivanter's Guide. She's now retired in Europe and I live between the US and France myself. We are both familiar with Egyptian style jewelry and collect vintage and new pieces regularly. The Golden Eye is just one of those places you really have to visit when in Santa Fe. The owners are invested in this store; since 1971 it's been a gem in Santa Fe, and you won't find anywhere like it in America. The quality of the pieces is outstanding and the creative uniqueness of each piece, means you own something nobody else will. I'm definitely going to buy a few pieces myself although they're mostly high-end gold and I prefer silver; there really is something for everyone here and the staff (who are really so much more than staff, they are the breathing vessel of The Golden Eye) make the experience of knocking on this little wonderment, a sacred and special journey. Do go. If you want to buy a present for someone special The Golden Eye is the one store I'd ensure I visited. A real asset to Santa Fe, it's boutique stores like this that make Santa Fe shopping such a delight; long...

The Golden Eye in Santa Fe is truly one of a kind. I’ve officially decided to save my entire jewelry budget to make an annual visit—it’s just that good. The craftsmanship and beauty of their pieces are unmatched. I’ve genuinely never seen anything like it.

What makes it even better is the quality—these aren’t just special occasion pieces. They’re made to last and truly perfect for everyday wear and special occasion. I love that I can wear something beautiful and meaningful every day and know it will stand the test of time.

Susan has been wonderful both times I’ve visited, and today I had the pleasure of meeting the lovely Patrice. They’re fantastic at what they do—not only great saleswomen, but warm, kind-hearted people who are a joy to be around.

Somehow, I always find something I can’t live without in there (darn it!). Thank you to the amazing ladies and the talented artists behind the scenes. I love supporting local, hardworking women creating truly stunning,...

My family has been buying delicious treasures from Golden Eye for 30+ years! We've all got a different version of the falcon - I've got the earrings, my mom and sister-in-law have pendants, my brother and dad have it as their wedding bands. I've more recently, elatedly, been more rapidly increasing my Golden Eye collection because they truly are GEMS. I am a big fan of old world style and juicy, succulent gems, and Golden Eye has both (and then some!) in spades. The highest quality and the most luscious, stand out designs in velvety 18-20K yellow gold. I want every friggin thing in there! It's hard...you know? Because I can't have everything in there. Wait. Can I? Please?\

The ladies who work at GE are also true gems. They're such a special bunch of women who make the experience all the more lovely. Funny, personable, down to Earth, helpful.

It's just a joy to explore the trove of golden treasures that adorn these walls! We will keep coming back for more and...
