Bruce Morgan Jewelry: Exquisite Gold Overlay


Bruce Morgan is known for his stunning gold overlay jewelry pieces, particularly his storyteller bracelets, which depict the pastoral scenes he experiences as he lives and works in the beautiful desert South-west.  His work is impeccably clean and his signature stamp work is very distinctive in his pieces. Bruce's work has a huge following of collectors from all over the world because of their beauty and versatility. He has been an artist since the 70s and is still making waves in the Navajo jewelry scene with his passion for creating simple, yet elegant, gold over silver bracelets, rings, bolas, earrings and belt buckles. A true cowboy artist, Bruce tends to his horses and his ranch when not creating beautiful masterpieces in his smithing workshop.




Most of Bruce's pieces use gold over sterling silver. His designs mostly depict scenes from the Navajo history, particularly his storyteller pieces. To make his designs pop out, he oxidizes the sterling behind his gold cut outs, bringing out the details even more clearly. His rings and bracelets are mostly heavy gauge, with intricate details not just on the outside of the piece, but also on the inside. He is known for his unique patterns, including the signature basket weave design, which can be seen in many of his works.

If you are starting a collection of beautiful jewelry pieces from talented Navajo artists, be sure to source your pieces from trusted sellers that guarantee the authenticity of their products. Online, you will find many companies offering real Native American jewelry. Choose a company that offers extensive selections from a wide variety of artists so you can have plenty of options to populate your collection. The best online stores will give you access to both traditional and contemporary pieces that will sure add great value to your own collection.
