Native Master Artisan - ALBERT JAKE - Beautifully Designed Lapis Cluster- Heavy Gauge Row Cuff - For Smaller 6-1/4" Size Wrist
THE CUFF:
The one thing that I can't help but think of when I look at this cuff, Is that it shows Albert's superior workmanship, where it shows the technical aspects of art. Everything about it is impressive, from picking the right size stones, then deciding how & which way to lay them to give the cuff a bit of wow factor, to the clean bezel work! (The latter,believe it or not, is an art in itself, to do the bezels this perfectly!) But this is something Al gives us, jewelry that is beyond precisely made!
This is not a wide cuff, but says so much in it's 1" width! Using a vertically laid rectangular cut for the center, Al then used chunky size oval cuts that are laid horizontally that go to the curvature of the cuff so when it's worn, all you see are all these beautiful blue cuts of Lapis that line the wrist..
It's traditionally made with a contemporary edginess & even though its Native made, it can be worn in OR out of the southwest & would go with a traditional Native collection as it will a contemporary!

WRIST SIZE:
This is made for a smaller sized wrist and with it's 1" gap opening, helps with a wrist that's smaller boned. Because of the sterling's gauge & design, it is not recommended that it be adjusted. Please know your wrist size before purchasing, since cuffs fit different than any other type bracelet, so it's of extreme importance they fit properly!
