IHSI-02 - "Motorcycle Chain" Bracelet - Sterling Silver

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. -
as seen previously, mine was very dirty after using it for a month in singapore's humid weather. just sent it for cleaning on tuesday in Malaysia and it's so clean and shiny. now it looks like brand new!
and it only cost me RM3!
so it's around USD1!!
