Portfolio Example & Materials Statement
Norman Bia

Morning Star Designs jewelry is hand made using high grade natural turquoise, sterling silver, and 14K-18K gold. Majority of my work will be in stamping, chiseling and forming. Occasionally, my designs are in tufa casting and overlay work of sterling and gold. Artist also braids fine leather lace for one-of-a- kind bolo belts and bolo ties as well.
