Robert Lee Morris

Posted by Maire Loughran Jul 24, 2007

In the last few weeks Bravo repeated twice the Law and Order Criminal Intent episode that was partially shot inside and outside Robert Lee Morris' jewelry shop in New York. For anyone that is familiar with Criminal Intent it is the last in the Nicole Wallace trilogy of shows.

I find it so interesting to see the inside of my favorite jewelry designer's shops. And I always wonder what precipitated the filming at that particular shop - just a factor of media involvement, does someone associated with the televison show wear Morris jewelry or know him or his wife? Then I always try to spot whether or not talent is wearing some Morris jewelry during the show.

What's new with Robert Lee Morris:

He's won the Geoffrey Beene Lifetime Achievement Award and has just completed a new design line based upon Andy Warhol's drawings and paintings. One such design that was immediately recognizable as Robert Lee Morris was the Fragile Sign Cuff .

It is a very sculptural in design wrist cuff with a cutout spelling 'Fragile'. Etched on the inside of the cuff are the words " My Mind is like a tape recorder - Erase." Very cool. This sterling silver cuff bracelet is priced at $400.

There is also a charm collection on his website that I am less impressed with - strictly due to my knowledge of the ritual and historic aspect of charms. Any of the charms on his site would be a totally appreciated gift for a fan of Robert Lee Morris. But if you are looking to combine charms for their intended purpose I see nothing that is all that interesting.

If you would like to find out more about Robert Lee Morris, please read my review of his book, RLM:The Power of Jewelry.

And check out the Robert Lee Morris official website for more info about this jewelry artist and his design line.
