Packard's on the Plaza
Celebrating 90 years in Santa Fe.

Situated on the southeast corner of the Plaza directly across from the La Fonda Hotel, an historic Harvey House and down the street from the St. Francis Cathedral first built in 1630, Packard's lies at the end of the Old Santa Fe Trail, the original north-south trade route.

The main door on the corner is the entrance to the main jewelry floor with a center island of cases filled with beautiful offerings from international designers Gurhan, Ippolita and John Hardy to name just a few, as well as award-winning local jewelry artisans like Michelle Tapia, Roger Wilbur, Lawrence Baca and Hal & Margie Hiestand, plus many more. Graced with large silk flower arrangements, the center island looks out to vitrines and wall cases dedicated to one or two artists and vintage jewelry, accessorized with fine pueblo pottery, hopi katsinas, bronze sculptures by Michael Tatom. Fine time pieces can be found here as well.

In the mezzanine visitors are surrounded by floor to ceiling cases of necklaces, all one-of-a-kind created by Native American and local jewelry artisans. Beads and stones of every hue in coral, sugilite, pearls, turquoise, gaspeite, lapis, amethyst, peridot, tourmaline, onyx and spiney oyster as well as carved silver beads are displayed in abundance.

Take two steps up from the main floor to the Southwest Room and browse Emilia Castillo's lovely silver serving ware and porcelain dishes from Taxco, Mexico. Beyond, take a gallery tour of our museum quality katsinas from notable carvers like Stetson Honyumptewa and D'Armon Kootswatewa. Table fetishes from Zuni carvers, Navajo carvers and unique bears from a Tesuque pueblo carver rest amongst pottery by Robert Tenorio, black Santa Clara pots and Kevin Naranjo's intricately carved smaller pieces. Native American jewelry artisans such as Arland Ben, Tommy Jackson, Orville Tsinnie, Jennifer Curtis and southwest artists Walt Doran, Luis Mojica and David Dear show their work in the Southwest Room also.

Pass back through the main jewelry floor and move into the Weaving Room at Packard's. Visitors enter a feast for the eyes filled with designs from Navajo weavers both contemporary and vintage, handmade weavings from the Middle East, bold Navajo inspired designs from the Carpathian Mountains Workshop in Romania and traditional Zapotec rugs from Mexico.
