We first began buying simple pieces from Arnold Blackgoat in the mid-nineties; barrettes, belt buckles and ponytail covers. Early in his career he specialized in such items buffed to a high polish. Now he is showing his experienced skills through original designs characterized by his excellent workmanship.
This stunning Traditional Revival cuff by Navajo silversmith Arnold Blackgoat is made of heavy ten-gauge Sterling. The stampwork on this tapered cuff is incredibly deep-set and precise. Convex appliquées flank the stone to left and right, while long, horizontal repoussée ovals mark the sides of the cuff. The rich green free-form Royston turquoise stone is set in a notched bezel wrapped with twist wire. This is an exceptional design which is perfectly executed.
