Albert Jake Mediterranean Coral

This bracelet represents Albert's clean and precise silver work and stone setting. The setting of such small coral stones in a precise silver mounting is very difficult, and the reason why cluster work is so rare and valuable.

Albert was born in 1959 and learned silversmithing from his parents. He refined his skills and developed his own style while working in various shops in Gallup and Albuquerque. His artistic perspective has been further developed by his toolmaking, pottery and sand painting skills. His brother is also a silversmith. Albert is a member of the Ramah Navaho Band in Ramah, New Mexico.
