Unique Bracelet Designs by Alfred Joe Native American designs on bracelets are notable for being one-of-a-kind, as they are created by hand and based on the aesthetics and vision of their respective artists. The unique bracelet designs by Alfred Joe—an award-winning Navajo jewelry artist—stand out with his use of fine materials like gem grade turquoise and precious metals like gold and silver. Also, known as ‘Al Joe,’ he crafts sterling silver jewelry and uses techniques like shadowbox, overlay, and stamping to create elegant and sophisticated traditional Navajo designs with a contemporary touch. The contemporary edge in his designs make each bracelet timeless and favored by new and seasoned collectors of Native American jewelry. Here is an overview of some of his most unique bracelet designs: • Rug pattern– The Navajo rug pattern design bracelet bears one of Alfred Joe’s most remarkable designs. It features his signature pattern design on a finely textured thick shank. The pattern is precisely cut, overlaid, and polished brightly to make sure that it can draw attention to the bracelet. • Textured, handmade beads–One of Al Joe’s best sterling silver bracelets has an unusual design where he combined three kinds of handmade beads, which he textured and polished by hand. The beads are in different sizes and attached to a handmade clasp. The completed bracelet is an elegant masterpiece. • Solid 14K gold over sterling silver with a Navajo rug pattern design– Some of his rug pattern bracelets are constructed in a slight concave with neat and delicately etched design over the band. The wave pattern represents a lake when a slight breeze blows over it. The cuttlefish design gives the illusion that it was made from a casting, although Alfred Joe insists he made it by hand. He overlaid a thick row of 14K gold in the heart of the bracelet with his signature pattern. The inside has been polished brightly, and the curvature generates a soft and comfortable look and feel to the entire piece, resulting in a stylish and sophisticated collectible. • Textured sterling silver– Alfred Joe constructed the bracelet with an inverse dome shape. After texturing the band, he stamped the lightning design down the center. The bracelet went through deep oxidation before being buffed, resulting in an unusually elegant and eye-catching piece.
