Bellezza, Richard Black Custom Cues.

Bellezza is a tribute to Richard’s wife, Ardis, bringing together rare materials and masterful detail in a design that reflects harmony, devotion, and artistry. The interplay of wood, ivory, and precious metals gives the cue a presence that is refined yet full of life.

  • Materials: Built with a Honduran Rosewood Burl handle, chosen for its warmth, depth, and natural character.
  • Rings: Ivory rings serve as the foundation for intricate inlays of silver, gold, and copper, creating luminous highlights throughout the cue.
  • Design: A section of silver crosshatch detailing adds texture and rhythm, balancing precision with movement.
  • Inlays: The butt and nose feature flowing motifs evoking sheaves of grain bending in quiet motion.
  • Accents: Fine balance between natural burl, luminous ivory, and shimmering metal ensures continuity and sophistication in every element.
  • Case: Accompanied by an inlaid presentation case, crafted to mirror the cue’s artistry and ensure its place as a showpiece.
