JAMES K ALLAS JEWELERS Making Dreams Come True

JAMES KALLAS MADE HIS FIRST PIECE OF JEWELRY and sold it to a local store in Ohio when he was just 12 years old. It has been his passion ever since, and his profession for his whole adult life. His first store was in Florida, but after taking a trip to Santa Fe to visit a relative, Kallas decided to relocate. “I saw a need for jewelry repair at that time and decided to take advantage of the opportunity,” he says. “I admit that the climate also played a part in my decision to move here.”

James Kallas Jewelers has been a fixture in Santa Fe since 1991 and is now a one-stop shop for just about everything jewelry related. If you want something designed, or made according to a design of your own, you’ve come to the right place.

Kallas has even studied ancient Greek and Japanese techniques, adapting them to create his own pieces, but with a modern flair. “There’s really nothing I can’t do,” he says simply.

The store showcases a wide, eclectic selection of jewelry for both men and women, covering a range of prices, from silver to high carat gold and platinum. Having been in the business for so many years, Kallas now has connections all over the world, making it possible for him to source whatever is required to meet a client’s needs. “If you have a dream,” he says, “we can create it for you.”
