Velez Galleries

"Awesome place to get authentic and regionally sourced jewelry from Native Americans. I have brought guests here many times and the owner is a gem of a person and is willing to explain in depth what you are buying. Ask questions!"

"Velez Galleries is a wonderful place to stop in for all things turquoise and sterling silver. The owner Michael was amazing to work with! He is happy to help find or create a beautiful piece of jewelry that is just right for you. He has a vast selection of curated vintage pieces as well as newer pieces from artisans that he knows and works with. The 2 rings that we purchased were from his personal line of amazing jewelry that he makes all by hand with so much love and care. You can instantly tell that he is immensely passionate about his work and loves every minute of it!!! He was very friendly and patient with us as we looked through hundreds of pieces to find that special one. He was great to chat with and also does custom work. We will gladly work with him again and can’t wait to see what is in store next time we come back into town. Thanks Michael!!!!"

"I just found the coolest vintage Aztec belt buckle at Velez Galleries! The shop keeper was so helpful and he took the time to tell us about his family and some of the creators of the pieces they sell. After shopping at a bunch of cookie cutter boutiques, I was so excited to find this shop with so many unique & thoughtfully crafted items. The best shop I visited in Colorado Springs by far."

"Velez Gallery is a treasure trove of indigenous and Pan-American artwork. There are myriad styles and motifs to choose from that are respectful and authentic pieces. The family also has jewelry, paintings, and prints for sale. I recently was looking for a ring. When I couldn’t find the size I needed, I was able to order a custom made and sized ring that I really liked by Micheal. I have been going to this gallery for decades now and am super grateful to have this amazing gallery in our city. It’s a gem!"
