Always used to have the highest regard for his galleries and have purchased in the past. But my mother passed away 11 years ago and I emailed them detailed photos of her turquoise jewelry asking for any info they could give on it. Followed up witj a call that afternoon and was pretty much brushed off and haven’t heard back from them. Amerindian.com however did respond and gave me some great info so thank you to them. Gilbert Ortega’s obviously only cares about one thing, soaking their customers for everything they can with no regard for offering any other service whatsoever.

Expensive, but they have some amazing stuff. Worth going in for sure.

Wonderful, friendly, warm people. Service was excellent, the gallery amazing. The highlight of our shopping experience.

The gallery is dead center of old town Scottsdale. A beautiful quiet place during the day. I bought a rock slice and 2 crystals. Lil pricey. But great... I had trouble finding what I wanted... they have lots of jewelry. But so did every other store there. I wanted something different. I googled Crystals.#deserttreasure store in carefree was the best visit I ever made.Thanks to Gilberts tiny area of 2×2 area.Thank you for making me browse anothers shop filled with rocks,minerals, etc... Then afterwards the sunset. With just the landscape. No tall building, or street line lights. Sunset well worth it.45 min drive.

Gorgeous jewelry, carvings, and painted pottery. Lots of handmade Indian jewelry, very pretty and friendly service.

Very nice gallery. A must to view

Beautiful native jewelry. Great people. Love the stones. Great prices.

Wow just love walking around inside.

Nice collectable items, but not American Indian made, Indonesia made mostly. Sorry...

This Gallery is located in Old Town Scottsdale. There is much to see and marvel at. There are some very unique pieces both in furniture and jewelry and the price tags reflect that. This is a pretty pricey joint.

Awesome. Wonderful place to shop and look around.

If you want native American jewelry and artifacts visit the Gilbert Ortega on the corner of Scottsdale and Main.

They sell the unique of Arizona! Great gallery.

Cool stuff, I wanted to buy everything!

I went in to sell a Squash Blossom necklace, & was interested in buying some new pieces. A lady named Marina, told me to sit down and have a seat. Well I had that seat for 2 and 1/2 hours. SHE ( MARINA) FORGOT ABOUT ME and after all that time waiting, Gilbert Ortega himself had left. She kept looking at me, but she never asked me, what am I waiting for, after that long amount of time that Im sitting there.Im waiting for the guy to buy my Squash Blossom, and asked MARINA in the beginning, how long is the wait, & asked twice, how much longer?. This lady Marina assures me hell be out. She even says to me .... I know youre waiting, & that shell let him know again, that Im waiting for him.After two and a half hours, and thats just sitting on a bench, (I was walking around the store before that), I get up I go ask her how much longer she looks at me like shes totally confused, I say Im waiting for the owner to appraise my piece of jewelry, Marina states. oh he left, he wont be back for a few days. Im in the store 3 hours, waiting on a bench 2 and 1/2 hours, because I dont wanna miss her calling me.3 hours or a little better, I was in Gilbert Ortegas in Scottsdale. I was treated badly, forgotten about, and minimum of three hours of my day wasted, waiting for someone to forget about me. MARINA WAS RUDE, from the get-go!How can somebody blatantly forget you, when youve shown your necklace, at the time you spoke with them &, youre sitting within ten feet of them watching them.??

Had so many beautiful pieces of art.

Fun store. A must visit.

Some nice stuff but a lot of touristy Native art mixed in.

Great working with gilbert

Great service. Justin took good care of us, and gave us a great deal. Happy wife, happy life.

Lived this store. Wide variety of items to shop for.

A totally unique store with tons of stuff I never saw in a store before. What an experience!

Amazing jewelry and great prices, so much to see and the service is incredible.

Beautiful gallery with native art, pottery and gorgeous jewelry.

Helpful staff, and so many treasures your head will explode. Whether you are looking for inexpensive little items for friends and family to remind you of your trip to the desert southwest, or something that will be a really special centerpiece of your home, this store will have it.

Their jewelry is simply stunning.

This is the best place in the valley to buy indian stuffs. The decoration of the shop is very beautiful.

I use to live in Phx but now I am out of state. I had my grandmothers old squash necklace repaired there. Wow, I could not believe they actually could repair it and how fast they did it. I have also bought several items there and they guarantee the work on their items. Which is incredible.

Justin is a good man and works hard to give you the best quality at the best price. Will bend over backward for your business and if anything goes wrong, which is rare, he will make it right and then some.Best Ortega shop.

This store has a lot of good local products. Personally, I liked their cowhide carpet.

Went in and fell in Love with many unique pieces...wood tables and chairs...and bed frames...amazing..i had never seen such beautiful creations...jewelry was lovely as well...but the furniture was breathtaking.

This is a nice store specializing in tourist merchandise. The selection is vast, and the prices vary from cheap to oh, my God, thats expensive!Although it is touristy, if you are walking in Old Scottsdale, this store is a positive experience.

Lovely place

Gilbert and Cynthia,Thank you for your professionalism and expertise! I have known of your gallery, along with being in your gallery over the years (I am a native of Phoenix), and you, Gilbert, along with your staff, are top notch. The best to you all and your business, always.

Friendly staff with beautiful art decor & jewelry. Love this place and you will too!

Suxh beautiful art work

Some nice jewelry and other items. I dont have a problem with expensive furniture or fine art pieces, but this place is trying to trade on their location to sell tacked together borderline IKEA grade stuff at prices that would still be a little high for artisan crafted furniture or original artworks. I do give them 2-3 stars for some of their jewelry and having quite a bit of style in what they pick.

Very good service, knowledgeable employees, friendly atmosphere REALLY NICE STUFF

About 5 years ago, I purchased a rawhide drum from one of the Ortega Galleries in Scottsdale. Over time, it has warped and is basically falling apart. I called to see if there was something that they could do and/or if they stood behind their products. I was abruptly told No, we do not guarantee any of our products. I am sorry this happened to you.Needless to say, I will never purchase anything from this business in the future and I cannot recommend them.A No Stars rating is appropriate.

There is a reason Gilbert Ortegas has grown so much in the last 50 years. The Native American artistry is a must see.

We enjoy walking downtown Scottsdale and looking at the jewelry collection. Some gorgeous pieces.

Great place, purchased some rings and earrings there. Service was excellent.
