Born in 1972 in the small town of Socorro, New Mexico, and raised in the nearby community of Alamo, Happy has been passionately creating jewelry for approximately half of her life. She learned the traditional art of silversmithing from her husband, "Rudy Willie," with whom she collaborates closely on various projects. Rudy is a proud member of the well-known “Willie Family,” which boasts a long line of talented artisans, including his brother "Ronnie Willie" along with many other siblings, nephews, and nieces who also excel in craftsmanship. Notable names among them include Dakota, Cooper, and Tawney Willie, to name just a few! Happy is a dedicated artist who remains true to her roots by consistently delivering traditional ‘Old School’ Navajo jewelry. She is deeply committed to preserving and honoring the artistry that has been passed down through generations from their Navajo ancestors, ensuring that this rich cultural heritage continues to thrive.

SIZING:

Sized for a man OR woman & is made for a larger size wrist that is "fleshy" & needs a wide gap opening to put it over the arm. (1-3/8") Because of the solid gauge Happy chose to work with, doesn't allow this to be adjusted, so you would have to know your wrist size & what gap your arm needs before purchasing, since cuffs fit different than any other type bracelet, so it is important they fit right!

PRICING IS BASED ON: You are paying for the name of the Artist & her reputation, the sterling cost at time of purchase, the artist’s time, the turquoise quality, the cost per carat for this type of quality and the amount of carats , which are all reflected in price.
