| | | | Southwestern Goods: Utility Shack--Native American Creations | Tip Rating: | | | | |
Saturday plans were to drive the hour and a half to Santa Fe to revisit this scenic Southwestern town, but before we left Albuquerque, we were encouraged to stop by Utility Shack. I am so glad we did!
Anyone desiring to pick up a nice piece of handcrafted silver jewelry should make the effort to visit this wonderful shop. I had already been pricing silver bracelets and pendants. I realized these handcrafted items were not going to be inexpensive when set with torquoise, but I was surprised to see how affordable they were here.
I would say the prices were perhaps 30-40% less than at other stores selling jewelry. On display were rings, bracelets, concho belts, pendants, earrings. All these pieces were crafted in plain silver or embellished with torquoise. We spent a longer time than expected here, because of the huge selection and great prices!
As we shopped, Native American craftsmen brought their jewelry into the store to sell. All area tribes are said to be represented. Also, on hand: a smaller assortment of gold jewelry, pottery, basketry and kachinas.

| | | | For Women: An adult store for women :) | Tip Rating:  | | | | |
Martha's is known throughout Albuquerque for it's quirky nature, and fun products. It's an adult store - expecially for women. The clerks are knowledgeable and fun. The store is well lit, and does not have that slimey atmosphere you might find in other stores of the same genre. As a matter of fact, the store if full of happiness and giggles.
The toy selection is meager at times since this is not their main focus. Despite this deficit, the toys that are presented are specific to a woman's needs :) The lingerie is well made, and the clerks are great at helping customers with proper sizing and even your own presentatin in said garment .... gentle honesty is a wonderful trait.
You can buy lotions, potions, lingerie, 'toys', and all sorts of fun things that any woman would love :) They even have local and international jewelry .....
Prices vary according to the type of item you are interested in ... from $10 to $150 .... browse and enjoy .....

| | | | Nob Hill: The Best Piercing Studio in Albuquerque! | Tip Rating: | | | | |
Evolution is definitely not the cheapest piercing studio in town, but to me, it's the best. They follow strict infection control practices, their artists are skilled and knowledgeable, and they have been politically active to ensure proper regultion of all body art studios in the area.... assisting in writing the current regs in place in our city.
The employees are some of the best artists in the nation, and have a wonderful knowledge base.
They have a huge selection of body hardware ... from simple jewelry, to large plugs and organics. You will enjoy this shop, even if it is just to browse :)
Body jewelry, organics, etc.
You can get pierced, or even branded, right here in the studio :) Leave a Comment Theme: OtherAddress: 4517 Central Ave NE, Albuquerque, 87108Phone: 4517 Central Ave NE, AlbuquerqueDirections: On Central between Washington and San Mateo - North side of the street.Website: http://www.evolutionpiercing.com/index.htm
