THE ARTIST:

Sharing both Navajo & Zuni bloodlines, Albert Jake, is a very passionate, well known & highly skilled jeweler, that combines the perfect marriage of top notch quality materials with his impeccable workmanship. Working 5 out of 7 days a week, Al creates both traditional & contemporary Navajo jewelry, in which he works in both gold & sterling.

Born on the Zuni Pueblo in 1959 & now resides in Albuquerque,Al is definitely no beginner to silversmithing..You don't get this good overnight nor in a matter of month's. It literally takes years of repetition,doing it over & over to be at the level he’s at.. He’s an artist who sets the bar high & is no way, considered your "average- every day” sort of jeweler .

WRIST SIZE:

This is made for a average sized wrist that ‘s wide, but not meaty. The gap is not that wide (7/8"), so it takes a smaller,less fleshy of an arm to put this on. Since the gauge of sterling is neither to o heavy nor too fragile,the gap can be opened a bit more, with know how. Cuffs fit different than any other type bracelet & it is important they fit right!

*******************

PRICING IS BASED ON:

**Artist reputation, sterling cost, artists time, the quality of the Coral , the availability, the cost per carat for this grade of Coral & the carat amount are all reflected in price**

***FYI***:
This Coral is from "Old Stock" since Coral is now on the rare list & can no longer be fished, nor brought in the USA.(These reasons are reflected in the price)Because of now the limited supply, buyers have begun to collect all they can for these reasons.. Coral has gotten so ridiculously expensive, which makes it unaffordable for many artists to even consider buying and especially for these premium grades. In recent years, Coral's cost has skyrocketed up to 500% & compared to a few years ago when it was at about $250 a gram, it is now well over $1000 a gram & the less availability, the higher the price will increase & will never be the price tomorrow, as it is today.
