Reviews
"David Morris established his eponymous fine jewelry house in 1962, quickly gaining a global reputation, adorning Hollywood stars, European royals, and style icons from Elizabeth Taylor to Diana, Princess of Wales. Their first major monograph, The World of David Morris: The London Jeweler ($115), illuminates the sophistication and creativity of one of the most masterful jewelers working today. Featuring brand-new photography and newly commissioned gouaches, this sumptuously slipcased tome offers a look at the house’s history, as well as a selection of its most famous creations and innovative designs." — CURATED TEXAN
"Author Annabel Davidson has written an engaging book about jeweler David Morris, who established himself during London’s Swinging Sixties. Although he has been written about in other books, this is the first major book dedicated to his legacy as an “artist jeweler” during the decade in which he started, using flawless gemstones with rough-hewn crystals and textured metals so popular at the time. The book then takes us through his use of the rarest and most extraordinary gemstones and his pioneering creativity and craftsmanship. The company and creations are now overseen by his son Jeremy Morris. The work debuts some of the house’s latest and most innovative designs as well as a large selection of its most famous pieces with new photography and gouaches created specifically for the book." — IN STORE MAG
