About Us

 

The Turquoise Door, established in 1989, presents the highest quality of American Indian jewelry and Latin American folk art. Many of our artisans are deemed national treasures in their respective countries.

We acquire our jewelry and folk art directly from our artisans in their homes and workshops, and promote the artisans with in-store exhibitions and demonstrations.

The Turquoise Door represents Calvin Begay, Jimmy Calabaza, Nestoria Coriz, Alvin and Bryon Yellowhorse, Tommy Singer, Gilbert Smith, and numerous other fine jewelry artisans from New Mexico and Arizona. Come see Mary Salazar’s fine and affordable necklaces and earrings. We also feature Central Texas’ largest selection of Russian and Polish amber.

Some of our folk artists are Felipe and David Linares, the Aguilar Sisters, Demetrio Aguilar, Moises Jimenez, Augustin Galicia Palacios, several tin workers, potters from Mata Ortiz, Huichol artisans, and many more.

Vanessa Redgrave, Ann Richards, John Cougar Mellencamp, Harvey Fierstein, Axl Rose, Don Henley, Carrie Fisher, Tom Spencer, and myriad others have graced the portalsĀ  of the Turquoise Door, and we hope you will too.
