The best place to buy Native American jewelry in Taos is directly from the makers. At Taos Pueblo, artisans sell from their homes during visitor hours. The pieces are made by the people sitting next to them. There is no better provenance.

The Millicent Rogers Museum shop in El Prado sources authentically and the standards are high. The Harwood Museum shop is smaller but reliable. Several galleries on Ledoux Street and around Taos Plaza deal in serious Native work and will document provenance on request.

The jewelry vendors on the portals around Taos Plaza vary in quality and authenticity. Some are excellent. Ask questions. A reputable vendor will tell you exactly who made the piece and what tribe they belong to without hesitation.

The Indian Arts and Crafts Act of 1990 makes it a federal crime to misrepresent the tribal origin of Native American jewelry. Despite this, non-Native and imported imitations are common in the Southwest. The law protects buyers but enforcement is imperfect.

Questions that a reputable seller should answer without hesitation: Who made this? What tribe are they enrolled in? Where were they when they made it? If the answer is vague or evasive, walk away. The real thing is available in Taos, and you do not need to settle. Price is not a reliable indicator of authenticity, since some genuine Native work is inexpensive while some imitations are priced high, so buy from sources who can document what they are selling.
