Born in Gallup, New Mexico in 1971, Derrick Gordon is a prolific young silversmith who is the father of three daughters (the youngest born in early 2003). He learned to smith silver from his uncle Delbert Gordon whose work is also shown on our site.

This is a classic slimline, uniform-width cuff with deep stamping and a rich purple oval of spiny oyster. The shell is set in a stright-edged bezel wrapped with twist wire and flanked by vertical twist wire appliquées of two different gauges, scrollwork and repoussée teardrops. This is a "grape juice" shade of spiny oyster.

This piece could easily be adjusted slightly for size, but to preserve the proper size of the gap for proper fit, it probably shouldn't be sized up more than 1/8", nor sized down more than 1/8". It's always best to measure your wrist with a tailor's tape measure and buy a bracelet within 1/8" of the measured circumference of your wrist.
