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, split-cuff design set with a premium stone of natural, untreated turquoise. A rectangle of deep green, watermarked Royston turquoise from Nevada is highlighted to left and right by domed
repoussée buttons wrapped with twist wire and vertical bars of raindrops. A combination of traditional stamps perfectly decorate the cuff to the terminals.
Note on sizing: This piece can easily be adjusted to fit a wrist as small as 6 1/8" or as large as 6 1/2". A properly adjusted bracelet should always have a gap that is large enough to fit the bracelet on without bending it open and shut each time, but not so large a gap that the bracelet tries to slip off the wrist. Hallmarked "Derrick" and stamped "Sterling" on the inside.

Widest point at stone: 9/16" Width at terminals: 3/8"
