ABOUT DARRYL:

Darryl Becenti is a Gallup,NM resident who is considered one of today's top modern day Navajo artists & is known for his traditional Navajo jewelry,done in a Vintage Revival style. He works with heavy gauge sterling,where he creates 'art' in a metal form through using a repousse technique,heavy stamp work,as well as applying appliques to spice his pieces up..Everything he puts into his jewelry, takes skill & accuracy & literally years to be this good,especially when pounding through such thick sterling sheet.

DESCRIPTION:

One thing about Darryl’s pieces is that he barely leaves the sterling without design.This is beautifully done with a chunky size of fine Lapis. The Lapis used has all the gold specks in it that are known to higher quality lapis. The stone is well cut & beautifully domed & sits high.Little conchos frame the navy blue stone.

It is made of heavy gauge sterling that is not flimsy & bendable,but rather solid. Darryl always takes the time to make sure his bales’s are just as pretty as the pendant & is beautifully stamped & has little conchos going down the center.(see photos 8 & 9)The bale can fit up to a 12.5 mm Bead comfortably.

This is the artist you want when you want to keep it traditional with guaranteed quality!
