Pink diamond ring by David Morris worn by Alexandra Daddario

The room fell completely silent as Alexandra Daddario stepped onto the floor, the flashing cameras immediately catching the jaw-dropping brilliance of the Pink diamond ring by David Morris. Valued at an astonishing estimate of US$1.6 million – US$2.6 million, the masterpiece featured a breathtaking 14.63-carat Radiant-cut orange-pink diamond at its heart, officially graded as a rare “Fancy Orangy-pink” specimen. Flanked perfectly by two triangular-cut colorless diamonds, the architectural setting seemed to amplify the stone’s warm, sunset-like fire with every slight movement of her hand. As she casually held her hand up near her face, the rare gem perfectly complemented her striking blue eyes, turning a high-fashion moment into an unforgettable display of timeless elegance and elite craftsmanship.

Specializing in the most-prized gemstones, from Colombian emeralds to sapphires found in the remote hills of Kashmir, David Morris celebrates color, flawless craftsmanship, and unique creativity in jewelry design. This is the jewelry house’s first major book.
David Morris established his eponymous fine jewelry house in 1962 at the height of the Swinging Sixties and quickly gained a global reputation for his opulent use of the rarest, most extraordinary gemstones and for innovative design sought by jewelry connoisseurs the world over. The house’s creations—now overseen by his son Jeremy Morris—are all designed and handcrafted to exacting standards in the New Bond Street atelier.
This sumptuous slipcased tome, featuring brand-new photography and newly commissioned gouaches created especially for the book, delves into the enchanting history of David Morris, aka the London Jeweler, whose legacy shines as brilliantly as the gemstones the house atelier transforms into objects of art. Over the years the house has gained a reputation for adorning Hollywood, British, and European royals from Elizabeth Taylor to Diana, Princess of Wales. Today, a David Morris jewel still radiates star quality, connecting the brand’s storied past to its future. This first major monograph debuts some of the house’s latest, most innovative designs as well as a large selection of its most famous pieces, and beautifully showcases the sophistication and creativity of one of the most masterful jewelers working today.

Whether it is their richness of color or deep-red glow that draws us near, since man first laid eyes on the ruby thousands of years ago, we have been enthralled by their mysterious beauty.

A perfectionist’s eye for color has led Jeremy Morris to venture across the globe in search of the rarest of all rubies. Once only mined in south-east Asia, these astonishing stones are distinguishable by their ‘pigeon’s blood’ hue, a richly evocative name for the most sought-after color in a ruby.

For our remarkable ruby jewelry creations Jeremy Morris carefully gathers the finest stones from around the world, with only the most beautiful brought to our Bond Street atelier. Here these natural treasures are crafted into contemporary jewels that dip into the past while looking towards the future.

The legendary career of David Morris began in 1951, when at age 15, he learned the craft of diamond mounting by apprenticing a master jeweller in Hatton Garden, the centre of London’s jewellery trade. After a short stint at London’s Central School of Arts and Crafts, he qualified as a goldsmith in 1959. Setting up his own Hatton Garden jewellery firm in 1962, David Morris quickly became an internationally known name as he and his design partner, Anne Seymour, successively claimed the ninth and tenth De Beers Diamonds International Awards, given annually in New York to promote innovative design.
