THE ARTIST:
Sharing both Navajo and Zuni bloodlines, Albert Jake is a deeply passionate, widely recognized, and highly skilled jeweler who masterfully combines the perfect marriage of top-notch quality materials with his impeccable workmanship. Dedicating himself to his art by working five out of seven days each week, Al creates both traditional and contemporary Navajo jewelry, skillfully working in both gold and sterling silver.

Born on the Zuni Pueblo in 1959 and now residing in Albuquerque, Al is certainly no novice when it comes to silversmithing. Achieving this level of expertise doesn’t happen overnight or in just a few months; it takes years of repetition, patience, and relentless dedication to perfect his art. His extraordinary attention to detail and remarkable eye for form and balance set him apart as an artist who raises the bar consistently. He is by no means your "average, everyday" jeweler—his work reflects true mastery and a deep cultural connection.

SIZING:

Made to fit or either a man or a woman, this is made for a larger/wider size wrist that doesn’t need a wide gap opening to put it over the thickness of a fleshier arm. (1-1/8") The cuff isn’t as heavy as some of Al’s cuffs,so it’s right at the brink of being able to open the gap up some, to not being able to. So if you know how to adjust the gap, then this shouldn’t be a problem.. OR you can take it to a ‘reputable’ jeweler to do this. But just know, that by opening up the gap so it can then go over the arm, is the only thing that can be adjusted.. It does NOT change the 5-3/4" interior. It does help 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!
