About Derrick Gordon

Derrick Gordon, a name synonymous with quality in Native American jewelry, began his illustrious career in 1990 under the guidance of his uncle, Delbert Gordon, a noted jeweler himself. Learning from such an experienced mentor, Derrick quickly mastered the craft and began to carve his own niche in the world of artisan jewelry by the age of nineteen.

Derrick specializes in the traditional repoussé technique, where silver is artistically pressed from the back to form raised, intricate designs that are visually striking. This method requires not only a deep understanding of the material but also a meticulous approach to ensure each detail is perfect. To further enhance the visual impact of his designs, he incorporates hand stamping techniques and uses oxidation processes to deepen the contrasts in the silver, highlighting the meticulous details and textures in each piece.

Comfort is also a major focus in Derrick's Native American jewelry designs. He carefully narrows the backs of his wide-band rings, ensuring they fit comfortably on the finger, proving his commitment to both aesthetic appeal and wearer comfort. Each of his creations is marked with his personal hallmark, "Derrick", and stamped "Sterling", serving as a guarantee of authenticity and quality craftsmanship.
