Patience Morgan Design (jewelry)

Patience Morgan

I was born in Princeton, NJ and attended NYU in Greenwich Village for my undergraduate degree in english literature. I studied drawing at The Arts Student's League for several years after graduation, took sculpture and jewelry workshops at The New School and Parson's School of Design in NYC and then attended classes at Studio Jewelers, also in NYC, for four years. I became a teacher of metalsmithing and subsequently an Associate Director there. I had a studio in New York on West 38th Street, with two colleagues, until moving to Rockland County, New York in 1985. Currently, I am a designer/metalsmith interested in exploring new ways to combine beauty and utility in jewelry design. I maintain a studio in Building 24 (H-2) at the Garnerville Arts and Industrial Center, located in Rockland County, where I live with my husband and our Standard Poodle, Henry. I have been working with private clients designing one-of-a-kind pieces for personal adornment in 14K, 18K and 20K golds, sterling silver and precious and semi-precious stones for more than 40 years. I am bilingual [English/Spanish].
