Handcrafted by award winning Navajo jeweler Derrick Gordon, this substantial bracelet exemplifies the highest level of traditional Native American silversmithing. Forged from a heavy hand pounded ingot sterling silver shank, the bracelet possesses a rugged, time honored character that reflects Gordon’s mastery of classic Navajo jewelry-making techniques.

The entire surface is richly adorned with an intricate overlay of deeply stamped scallops and star motifs, creating remarkable texture, depth, and visual rhythm throughout the piece. Every detail is executed by hand, showcasing the precision and craftsmanship for which Gordon is widely celebrated among collectors.

At the center rests an extraordinary large oval cabochon of natural Valley Blue turquoise. Highly prized for its distinctive pale white to light blue coloration and exceptionally intricate spiderweb matrix, the stone displays a delicate network of finely woven patterns that create both contrast and character. Although Valley Blue turquoise is frequently referred to as “Dry Creek,” it originates from a separate nearby mine and possesses its own unique geological identity.

This particular gemstone represents the rarest gem grade quality of Valley Blue turquoise, exhibiting the complex spiderwebbing and exceptional matrix definition most coveted by collectors. Increasingly difficult to acquire, such stones are prized not only for their beauty but also for their scarcity.

Combining a museum quality turquoise specimen with Derrick Gordon’s masterful ingot silverwork, this bracelet stands as a collector-grade work of Native American art, an heirloom quality piece that embodies rarity, tradition, and enduring Southwestern elegance.
