Precious metals like gold and silver are commonly used in Native American jewelry designs. While there are a lot of jewelry makers using those materials for their creations, only a handful manages to stand out with one-of-a-kind gold overlay. Bruce Morgan is one of the names that comes to mind when you think about storyteller overlay pieces. Clean and distinctive stampwork, enchanting beauty, and versatility are among the winning qualities that make Bruce Morgan jewelry popular with collectors worldwide. His storyteller bracelets are one of a kind, each one made to depict Pueblo and Navajo pastoral scenes. Hence, every piece has its own unique character and story.

Some of the most amazing pieces of Bruce Morgan jewelry are 14K gold over sterling silver bracelets, which come in a variety of unique designs. One of the notable designs depict a beautiful basket weave design with crescent-shaped patterns that formed as the result of deep oxidation on the band’s outer edges. Deep V stamps are found on either side of the gold band for a special touch to the piece. Another design comes with skillfully combined intricate detailing on the inside and outside with a one-of-a-kind pattern. Deep oxidation made the bracelet extra eye-catching to the beholder.

Rings are among the best-selling pieces of Bruce Morgan jewelry, too. Like his bracelets, the rings are beautifully and intricately crafted to feature amazing details in 14K gold over sterling silver. One of this artist’s best designs feature intricate square-shaped patterns throughout the entire shank to create a basket weave design.

Bruce Morgan was born in Rehoboth, NM, and he was raised in Brimhall. At age 15, he designed his first Navajo jewelry in school during silversmithing class. He has been making jewelry masterpieces since the 1970s. He is considered a master silversmith and goldsmith, with his works featured in well-known publications like Southwest Art and Arizona Highways. When not making jewelry, he is busy taking care of his horses in his ranch. This way, he is considered a genuine cowboy artist, too. Bruce Morgan himself is an award-winning Navajo artist and jeweler whose creations are prized by many collectors, not only in the US, but worldwide.
