Akee Douglas

Akee Douglas, a skilled Navajo silversmith from Gallup, New Mexico, draws deeply from his cultural heritage and early exposure to Native American jewelry. His journey in silversmithing reflects a dedicated pursuit of excellence, resulting in finely crafted designs that honor traditional artistry. Known for his distinct style, Akee uses oxidized backgrounds to create bold contrasts that highlight the vibrant beauty of high-quality stones, showcasing his unique vision and reverence for his craft.

White Buffalo:

White Buffalo is in fact NOT turquoise. Although White Buffalo is often sold as turquoise, it's classification is actually magnesite and alumite. Its unique coloring comes from the presence of Calcite mineral. The only mine known to be home to White Buffalo is The Dry Creek Mine in Tonopah, NV. It was first discovered by the Otteson family in 1993. The name derives from the Native American belief that white buffaloes are pure and rare like the white buffalo stone. The white stone is surrounded by black and brown flint-like chert which creates beautiful patterns, and sometimes in rare pieces, a spider-web matrix. The stone appears in veins, is as hard as turquoise (Mohs hardness scale of 5.5 to 7.5) and cuts and polishes like turquoise.

Understanding Our Measurements

Inside circumference measurements listed for cuff bracelets represent the total inside circumference, including the gap. When selecting a cuff bracelet, keep in mind that the gap allows for some flexibility in sizing, as cuffs can be gently adjusted for a more comfortable fit. Cuffs with multiple stones may be adjustable on a case-by-case basis. If the listed measurements do not meet your needs, we recommend inquiring about adjustability before purchasing. Improperly adjusting cuffs can compromise the stone settings.
