Harry Morgan is known and respected as one of the most outstanding
Native American jewelers.
Born and raised on the Navajo reservation in Arizona, Harry began
casing jewelry at age 7, for 75 cents to a dollar, enough for bubble gum,
a soda pop, 5 suckers and a Boston Pie. He began silversmithing at the age
of 12 and professionally as a silver and goldsmith since l965. Upon
graduating from Gallup High School, Harry received a 4-year scholarship
from the Navajo Tribe to study Engineering, but school no longer
interested him--bein ga rodeo cowboy was his next dream. As the popularity
of the sport continued, Harry met his certain levels of satisfaction and
wanted to experiment with jewelry.
While at his workbench Harry will find a special piece of turquoise
lying in a box with many more he has had for at least 20 years. Until he
has an idea for that specific piece of turquoise, he will hold onto
it.
The lifelong vision of Navajo Hary Morgan is to continue to grow
in his jewelry and lifestyles of his heritage. Family is Harry's biggest
challenges and success--"knowing that his family is happy, healthy and
working hArd is success within itself." "Family above all is what is
important to me, he says." It is important to him that his children
achieve their dreams and hope that when they come to the point in their
life of deciding what they want to do--they will choose something they
love. Coming from a verytradional background, Harry is very happy with
being a silversmith--he loves what he does. Working with silver brings him
great joy! Hary Morgan possesses a great talent and will continue ti rise
up as one of the greatest silversmiths--creating jewelry that conveys
detail and the purest classic quality!
