Albert Nells
Navajo artist Albert Nells began his career in 1972. He is famous for developing a unique sleek elegant Art Deco style of jewelry incorporating raised inlay and finely cut cabochons. The color scheme is contemporary yet uses the four sacred colors of white blue red and black. In this way he blends the traditional with the sleek elegance of modern times. Albert is a meticulous craftsman. He selects only the finest, natural turquoise, coral and other gemstones from around the world. He then cuts, sets and polishes the stones in his own silver designs. Every piece of Albert Nells jewelry is made entirely by Albert.
Albert Nells was raised in Cedar Springs, and now makes his home in Flagstaff. He is a self-taught artist and started in leather work. Many of his designs come from leather applied to silver. He calls his technique “wire design” with channel inlay.
Albert considers himself a traditionalist, believing in the traditional Navajo ways. He participates in Navajo ceremonies in the Beauty Way. The all natural four color stones he uses represent the four directions.
Albert shows his work at Indian Market, Southwestern Art Festival, and The Heard Museum Show and he says he “always takes home a ribbon.”
