About the Item

This exceptional sterling silver cuff by the late Navajo silversmith Darryl Becenti features a square coral cabochon as its striking centerpiece. Crafted from substantial sterling silver, the cuff is richly hand-stamped with intricate appliqué work that showcases Becenti’s remarkable precision and mastery of traditional Navajo silverwork. The bold stamp work and heavy-gauge construction reflect the influence of the renowned Reeves and Cadman silversmithing families, while maintaining Darryl Becenti’s own distinctive artistic voice. Elegant in composition yet powerful in presence, this cuff is an outstanding example of the craftsmanship and authenticity for which his work is celebrated. Hallmark: D with an arrow Dimensions • Width: 9/16" • Stone: 1/4" x 1/4" • Gap: 1 1/8" • Inside Measurement: 5 7/8" • Total Inner Circumference: 7" • Weight: 1.5 oz • Signed: Yes About the Artist Darryl Becenti (1957–2020) was born in Gallup, New Mexico, and learned silversmithing from his brothers-in-law, David Reeves and Leroy Reeves. He was also closely connected to the celebrated Reeves and Cadman family of Navajo silversmiths, including Sunshine Reeves, Gary Reeves, Andy Cadman, and Darrell Cadman. Before beginning his jewelry career in 1988, Becenti worked as a sand painter and was also an accomplished pencil-and-ink artist, often creating highly detailed wildlife scenes. His artistic background strongly influenced his jewelry designs, which are admired for their balance, detail, and expressive stamp work. Becenti became especially known for his deeply hand-stamped Navajo patterns, repoussé silverwork, and heavy-gauge sterling silver construction. Using stamps and dies that he often made himself, he incorporated stars, fans, scallops, shells, and elaborate appliqués into his jewelry, creating pieces with exceptional texture and dimensionality. He consistently used high-quality natural stones, carefully selecting turquoise of outstanding character and beauty. Because Darryl Becenti worked geographically apart from many of his well-known relatives, his jewelry was produced in smaller quantities and has become increasingly difficult to find. Today, his work remains highly prized by collectors for its craftsmanship, traditional integrity, and distinctive artistic identity.
