Known for their exceptional silverwork, the Reeves and Cadman brothers, along with many other Navajo jewelry artists bring traditional Navajo craftsmanship into the forefront of contemporary jewelry making through their detailed work. Born in Gallup, New Mexico, Darrell Cadman started developing his craft, along with his brothers, Donovan and Andy, and half brothers, Sunshine and Gary Reeves in 1992. Coming from a long line of silversmiths, Darrell has a unique and distinctive style that sets his work apart from his brothers' work. Apart from his ram hallmark, Darrell stamps his work with his name or initial (D. Cadman or D) to distinguish it from works by other artists.
Darrell is not afraid to take on more unusual
forms of silverwork, and is known for his rare silver boxes. They are becoming
difficult to find, nowadays, especially those executed in the same masterful
way. Darrell
Cadman handy work on the bracelet and stone settings is nothing
short of exquisite, using a wide range of stunning and beautiful patterns
inspired by tradition. Darrell uses turquoise, coral, and other precious stones
to embellish his beautiful hand-hammered, stamped, and worked sterling silver
bands.
