With at least 20 some years experience in silversmithing there is no job impossible for Mr. Bruce. He is our ultimate creator of all things silver and stone. I’m lucky enough to have a sneek peek at all his creations everyday – I wish I could share a few with you right now, but if you’re patient Jay will share with you in due time.

| Brian using a jewelers saw - pretty tricky! |
Brian grew up here in Albuquerque and just out of high school he studied and worked in the automotive industry. After a few years he was introduced to the world of jewelry fabrication and the rest is history. Being a self taught silversmith, his imagination really does know no boundaries.
I love creating things. Taking basic items like silver & stone and creating a piece of wearable art is the ultimate. The challenge of jewelry design keeps me inspired every day.
One of my favorite rooms in our building is his shop. Here you will find a library of rough stones, various lapidary machines, “the torch”, design idea’s in the works and the best scrubbing hand soap man has to offer. What can I say – I love that room.

Being the only man in the building here at Desert Rose Trading he is often taken from the bench and moved to the task of removing unwanted guests around the building – spiders, lizards and crickets to name a few. Truly his patience is great being around 20 or so women every day. Needless to say - he’s the best sport ever.

Away from work if you don’t see or find him fishing, bowling or golfing then he must be camping. The outdoors is where he collects himself and regenerates himself for creating.
