After years of operating other businesses, we decided to finally put together something we love and both have passion for. After traveling to remote areas and visiting indigenous cultures, we fell in love with Mexican folk crafts, native arts, and unique items of the world. We wanted to share our findings with the world and build a business around our passions.
We collaborate direct with our artisans to design and bring forth unique items that are not typically seen in galleries around the US. LunAzuL was born. We will continue to bring forth new interesting art and designs. We love making new connections and building LunAzuL's artist community and look forward to many years to come.
We now offer customized handcrafted copper moscow mule mugs for corporate gifts, wedding gifts, bars, restaurants, distilleries, and retail stores. Volume/wholesale discounts are available. We offer custom hand-engraving, and other options to personalize your mugs. Please contact us with your ideas. Thanks!

Common Questions About Lunazul Gallery
Q: What types of products can I find at Lunazul Gallery? A: We curate a diverse collection of authentic, handcrafted goods, including Sterling Silver jewelry, traditional copperware, hand-loomed textiles, hand carved Alebrijes, and unique Amate bark paper art. Every category in our gallery is chosen to highlight traditional craftsmanship and cultural heritage.
Q: Is the jewelry at Lunazul Gallery handmade? A: Yes. We specialize in handcrafted jewelry created by skilled artisans. Our collection features .925 Sterling Silver, natural gemstones, and mixed-metal designs. Because these are not mass-produced, each piece carries the unique touch of the metalsmith who created it.
Q: What makes your copperware collection unique? A: Our copperware is crafted using ancient hammering techniques, often associated with the renowned coppersmiths of Mexico. From hand-hammered vases to decorative vessels, these pieces are made from pure copper and are designed to last for generations.
Q: Can you tell me more about the textiles and rugs? A: Our textiles are primarily handwoven on traditional pedal looms or backstrap looms. Our artisans use natural fibers like 100% wool and organic cotton to create rugs, pillows, and throws. These pieces feature geometric patterns and rich textures that reflect the history of the weaving communities we support.
Q: What is the Amate "bark paper" art found in the gallery? A: This is Amate paper, a pre-Hispanic tradition where the bark of mulberry and fig trees is washed, boiled, and pounded into a textured paper. At Lunazul Gallery, you will find this handmade bark paper adorned with intricate Otomi embroidery or vivid hand-painted folk art.
Q: Does Lunazul Gallery support fair trade artists? A: Absolutely. Our mission is to provide a sustainable platform for independent artisans and indigenous communities. By sourcing directly from creators, we ensure they receive fair compensation for their artisan products and help preserve these rare, traditional art forms.
Q: How do I care for the natural materials in my purchase? A: We recommend gentle care for all our items. Sterling Silver can be polished with a soft cloth; copper can be left to develop a natural patina or polished for shine; and textiles should be spot-cleaned or professionally cleaned to protect the natural wool and cotton fibers.
🌿 Our Commitment: Art with Integrity
At Lunazul Gallery, we believe that true beauty extends beyond the canvas. Our mission is to curate a collection that honors the hands that created it and the planet we share. We are dedicated to transparent, ethical practices that bridge the gap between global artisans and conscious collectors.
🤝 Ethical Sourcing & Artisan Empowerment
Direct-to-Artist Partnerships: We work directly with painters, sculptors, and craft communities to ensure fair compensation that exceeds local market standards.
Cultural Preservation: A significant portion of our catalog features traditional techniques—from loom weaving, traditional coppersmith techniques, to clay firing. We prioritize sourcing that helps keep these indigenous narratives and heritage skills alive.
♻️ Environmental Responsibility
Art should last forever; packaging shouldn't.
Sustainable Logistics: We constantly audit our shipping processes to minimize waste. We always seek out the best packaging practices to maximize safe delivery and minimize environmental impacts.
Conscious Curation: We actively seek out artists who utilize reclaimed materials, natural pigments, and eco-friendly mediums to reduce the chemical footprint of our collection.
🌐 Diversity & Inclusion
Art is a universal language, and our gallery reflects that voice. We are committed to representing a diverse roster of artists, ensuring equal visibility for emerging talent from underrepresented regions and backgrounds.
