Born in Fort Defiance, Arizona in 1955, Delbert Gordon grew up in Tohatchi, New Mexico. He is a self-taught silversmith and occasionally works with gold. He has been instrumental in teaching many youngsters the craft, most notably his nephew Derrick Gordon whose rings and bracelets appear alongside his uncle's on this website.

This sculpted-edge, graduated row bracelet is set with three very thick stones of natural, untreated Royston turquoise from Nevada. The center stone is set in a 3/8" straight-edged bezel to raise it up high and give it more prominence. The two flanking stones are set in 1/8" straight-edged bezels. All of the bezels are wrapped with twist wire. Hollow-point starred buttons and "bumped up" apostrophe-shaped appliquées decorate the stone settings. Convex, long oval appliquées frame the row of stones and deep, well-executed traditional stampwork decorates the edges of the cuff and the expanse to the terminals. This piece has everything: exquisite stones and superb smithing in a classically traditional design.

Hallmarked with a large capital "D" with a spur extending from it and "Gordon" in smaller letters beneath surrounded by a trailing banner. Also stamped "Sterling" inside.
