About the Item

Sterling Silver Cuff Bracelet with Hand-Stamped and Appliqué Designs and set with five Natural Fox Turquoise from Nevada, the largest 1” x 3/4". Silverwork by Navajo silversmith, Albert Jake. Stones sourced, cut, and polished by lapidary artist, Bruce Eckhardt. Width: 1-3/8” Gap: 1-1/4” Inside measurement: 5-3/4” Total inner circumference: 7” HALLMARK: "A JAKE~Sterling"/Indian Head Icon/HBH (Heavy by Hand) Jake is considered 'Old School"- everything he makes is done by hand. The Fox Turquoise mine, located near Lander County was discovered in the early 1900’s. The Fox mine, once known as the Cortez, has been one Nevada’s largest producing mines for about a century. The Fox mine is still producing today. Today Fox Turquoise is produced in many shades of beautiful blue, wonderful greens and aqua that may have white marks, deep black matrix, or just stone. The product varies from fine vein material to chunky, nuggets with wonderful natural water webbing. About the artist Albert Jake was born at home in 1959 in Ramah, New Mexico on the Zuni Pueblo. Albert attended school in Ramah until 6th grade, then moved to Springerville, Arizona, where he attended school until 8th grade. Albert moved to Pine Hills, New Mexico, where he completed high school in 1978. Albert grew up in a large family with one older brother, three older sisters, and three younger sisters. Leaving high school Albert learned to sandpaint and was blessed to be able to draw, which gave him income for the next few years. A man with many talents - artist, sandpainter and potter - Albert Jake first began to learn the art of silver-smithing from his sister Louise, then worked with for another company for several years and began making jewelry in 1987. Albert is renowned for the precise detail and execution of his work and for the fine natural stones which he always employs in his pieces. The stamp work is deep and clean; perfect in its repetition. Bruce Eckhardt was raised in Arizona and lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico. His jewelry has been shown in the Southwest, and across the United States, as well as in collections in Europe, and Asia for over 30 years. He creates unmistakable jewelry and is known as a consummate lapidary artist, jewelry artist, and all around rock-hound. One look at Bruce Eckhardt’s jewelry and you’d think he was born making beads. Yet for Bruce Eckhardt, his career in jewelry-making came about by way of his passion for painting. Eckhardt studied with a Navajo painter at Prescott College in the early 70’s who created a student exchange program with the American Institute of Indian Arts IAIA in Santa Fe. As part of his student exchange, Eckhardt worked in the studio/classroom of Allan Houser – the well-known stone sculptor. During this time Eckhardt realized he loved the feel of stone—the density, resilience, and sense of eternity in the material, yet he still loved the bright colors of the paint he was used to working with. Those stones of bright, vivid colors turned out to be gemstones. Over the years many other teachers including Charles Lavato from Santa Domingo Pueblo inspired Eckhardt; and taught Bruce how to roll beads. With the help of his talented teachers, Eckhardt developed and honed his own unique talent and signature style. He strives in his jewelry “to paint” with stone by capturing color and volume. It has been an evolution of many years work but ART is often like that, he says; “It becomes itself, in spite of itself.” Today, Bruce Eckhardt’s jewelry is a marriage of his love for the feel of stone and bright colors in his paintings. Eckhardt chooses rare, high-grade stones to create his stunning pieces, which highlight the inherent beauty of the materials he uses while offering customers a piece that feels utterly close to nature. He uses only the highest quality stones in his jewelry, and has an amazing eye for style and jewelry design. Eckhardt states: “Bigger beads create a stunning look.”
