Alberto Contreras was born in 1928 in Tucson Arizona. When he was a senior at Tucson High School, he had apprenticed under Frank Patania Sr. from 1946 to 1948.
Alberto Contreras was greatly influenced by Frank Patania Sr.‘s post modernest designs, so much so that his work has been sometimes mistakened to be the work of Frank Patania Sr.
Alberto Contreras started his jewelry business in 1949 in a local drugstore on Stone Avenue. He then moved to "The Pink Adobe", in 1953.
It was Alberto Contreras‘s first building location at 45 W. Council and Ash Alley, Tucson Az.
