Award-winning Navajo artist and jeweler Bruce Morgan mainly works with gold and silver. His pieces are prized by many collectors not only in the US, but around the world. When not making jewelry, he spends time with his horses in his ranch—a true cowboy artist, indeed. His creations are distinctive for their gold and silver overlay technique, and some of his best-selling pieces are storyteller bracelets depicting traditional Pueblo and Navajo pastoral scenes. Bruce has been designing jewelry since he was 15 years old, and he started in his school’s silversmithing class.
The extremely clean and distinctive stamp work sets every gold overlay jewelry by Bruce Morgan apart from the pieces made by other Navajo artists. His pieces never fail to appeal to many different collectors, too, as they are naturally captivating and versatile. Solid 14K gold over sterling silver bracelets are among his best-sellers, where every piece features a unique design. Bruce Morgan gold overlay bracelets are heavy gauge pieces that are made by hand and skillfully crafted with details inside and outside. Some pieces have dark oxidation on the gold to draw attention to them.
Bruce Morgan makes solid 14K gold over sterling silver storyteller rings, too. Despite the size, the rings are extremely detailed with gold cutouts depicting the scenes over oxidized sterling silver, which helps bring out the design. Some of his bracelets and rings feature a basket weave design, which he accomplished by deeply stamping the gold in an interweaving pattern and further emphasized with deep oxidation on sterling silver.
You can purchase authentic Bruce Morgan gold overlay jewelry online, but make sure to buy only from an established and reputable retailer authorized to carry his pieces. The best retailers provide a certificate of authenticity with every gold overlay jewelry sold to assure collectors of his name and tribal affiliation, the item’s retail value, and the materials he used to create the piece.
