looking at the clasp and all, I somehow would be affraid to lose this badass bracelet while wearing it to go out on the weekend or to other occasions where a bit of moving and shaking is involved!
so what do the guys think…is this an easy piece to lose?@Giles - how many of those bracelets are floating around btw.?
I guess the answer is: "the fekk I know!"...still thought I should ask

Finn mate what are u doing losing your stuff hehe i believe risk of losing on thicker wirsts is less than on skinnies like me. I combine with leather bracelets atm no prob and you should hear it fallen to the ground unless ya drunk mate
just dont wear when Party hard PS Check coverage in your household insurance

No way of losing this thing w/ Tiffany clasp

I'm going to buy this when I get my motorbike licence this year; it seems like a fitting occasion even if not particularly momentous.
For additional perspective on fit, I was lucky enough to have this beast on my wrist today and on an 18.5cm (7.4") wrist it can be clasped but is pretty firm. I'll be opting for an extra 2 links like G's.

I don't know anything about Goro, but I firmly believe that any of those Japanese craftsmen would acknowledge their debt to the native American silver workers in NM and CO.
-
While Goro learned from the Navajo, he has taken his own unique artistic approach by incorporating those classic Native American designs, and interpreting them into more modern feeling works. He has been around for several decades and his pieces appreciate in value over time.

Goro has been selling his stuff for a long time.
I remember long crowds in front of his shop in Harajuku more that 20 years ago.
He looked quite native himself with long white hair. He also had an amazing vintage Harley. Not sure how he's doing now.
But he has apparently good contact with natives, knows their culture well and from what I've heard stayed with them for a longer period. But I don't know whether he learned jewelry from them.
To it seemed when native stuff started to get so popular in Japan (Dance with the Wolves seemed to have been a huge factor) he was the main jewelry guide. He might have even come up with most ideas of this typical Japanese style native jewelry.
His newer styles seem to include more gold/silver combos. At that time I can only remember silver stuff.
