About the Item

Robert Lee Morris Gold "River Under Bridge" Link Bracelet, created in 1989. This is a production bracelet, part of the wholesale collection of RLM which sold and distributed his fashion jewelry to leading specialty stores around the country. The sculptural bridges in this lusciously liquid bracelet are carved with a flesh like quality. The soft and organic shape, with the large pass-thru holes in the sides, makes this a totally unique design. Morris jewelry has always been iconic for being original, always something new and ground breaking, and his fashion jewelry collections were always pushing a new idea forward each season. The rich color of the matte 18k-24k gold plating he was known for, was a strong thick plating on brass. The feeling of this bracelet is that of a 1940's glamour, chunky and gutsy gold, maybe as part of a layering of other soft gold bracelets as well. The ribbing, or connecting rings in between each soft bridge are a powerful part of the graphic design, as the rows of ovalized rings are linear and provide a great balance to the more abstract Bridge or Station form. Right and left brains in synch. That is often how Morris designed, with feelings in mind, trying to evoke an era or a mood that he was feeling at the time. His fashion jewelry was tuned to his time, and reflected it on a big stage, NYC Fashion.
