Santa Fe 400 Collection

"La Villa Real", The Royal City, was officially founded by Spaniards in 1610 at the sites of "Ancient Ones: (pueblo peoples and ancestors), going back thousands of years. From then 'til now Santa Fe has figured prominently in the history and cultural diversity of the Southwestern USA. This rich heritage inspired jewelry artist, Douglas Magnus, to create the 'Santa Fe 400 Collection'©. These commemorative medallions are authentic handmade representations of Santa Fe's 400 years, based on colonial Spanish '8 reale' coins and bullion, utilizing primitive and modern techniques, symbols and materials, including in some, rare turquoise from the ancient Cerrillos mines.



From sketch to the finished piece, Magnus Studios are the only hands who touch these products. Nothing is outsourced, nothing is produced in other parts of the world, and no compromises are made in quality. The finest silver and gold stocks are used, and the turquoise featured is of the highest quality, with much of the turquoise coming from Doug's own mines located outside of Santa Fe.
