Master Navajo silversmith Harry Morgan died June 12, 2007 in Gallup, NM . He left a grieving family and an unparalleled legacy as the chief architect of the amazingly successful modern revival movement of old Navajo jewelry designs that were nearly forgotten. He was probably the most influential artist of his genre and time whose work appealed to both ordinary collectors as well as therich and famous in the entertainment industry.

Harry often made special pieces for the movies, movie stars, and many other affluent collectors. He invented the old pawn silver finish that nearly perfectly mimics the patina acquired by many decades old pieces. His superior craftsmanship and designs, use of great turquoise, and attention to even the smallest details earned him a giant reputation, and he will be sorely missed by his family, friends, and the many younger silversmiths (including family members) he so generously and patiently mentored over the years.

Before his death at age 62, Harry had been ill and his production had greatly diminished in the last couple of years. So the amount of new jewelry is limited, and several traders in Gallup believe his work hasat least tripled in valuesince his death.

Harry developed the old pawn style finish which is somewhat like the Hopi brush or satin finish only darker. For years, he\'s specialized in designing unique, ultra-expensive pieces for celebrity clients, old style bracelets,ornate decorative boxes, and tack. In fact, Harry was one of a select handful of Native American artists that Robert Redford selected to create tack for the horses in the motion picture, \"The Horse Whisperers,\" andHarrycreated concho belts for movie stars that sold for thousands of dollars.
