14K White & Yellow Gold Jewelry



Over two decades ago, John Bagley started a career that established his reputation as a leading designer of fine jewelry. It began when, as a graduate anthropology student, he roamed the mountain ridges and canyons of the American northwest, searching for clues and artifacts of Native Americans. Fascinated by the inherent beauty of natural stones and objects of nature, he began to fashion them into articles of personal jewelry.

John Bagley's early creations were earth jewelry, combining gold and silver with jasper, agate, and bone, as well as other found objects of nature. They were elemental, bold, and experimental. John strove to give them the power of a totemic image - a fetish worn to transfer the power of nature to an individual.

Due to his disappointment with the innate separateness of stone and metal in traditional bezel settings, he began to use the ancient technique of inlaying stones into metal to create more integration of his jewelry's design elements. His opal inlay work is now the finest in the world - a seamless blend of opal and gold.

Today the firm is recognized worldwide as an industry leader because of its innovative designs, superb quality, and excellent craftsmanship - the unmistakable mark of a John Bagley signature piece. As the creative force and dynamic executive behind the firm, founder/designer John Bagley, brings an entrepreneurial spirit and natural talent to jewelry design and company management.
