Heritage - David Morris - The London Jeweller

The London Jeweller

Established in London in 1962, David Morris – The London Jeweller is renowned for creating breath-taking pieces of flawless design, each individually crafted to showcase the rarest and most valuable gemstones, and sought by jewellery connoisseurs the world over.

Our passion for fine jewellery was born and refined in London, and today our pieces continue to be handmade in our New Bond Street atelier, one of only a handful still in existence.

It is here that our team of artisans skilfully produces precious creations, combining the rarest of gemstones with the creative twist that has become the signature of David Morris jewellery.

“Perhaps most crucial of all, and most elusive, is the relationship between the designer and the craftsman and the jeweller”

A marriage of beauty and technology, in its approach to design and craftsmanship David Morris is as wonderfully unique as its collection of rare gemstones.

Whether it is a piece from our beautiful fine jewellery collections or a bespoke creation, David Morris jewellery transcends generations, each design expressing ingenuity, creativity and unparalleled quality.

A history full of colour

David Morris learned his craft as an apprentice to a leading jeweller in 1950s London, establishing his eponymous fine jewellery house at the height of the Swinging Sixties and quickly gaining a global reputation for extraordinary stones and innovative design.

Today it remains a family-run business, with Jeremy Morris following in his father’s illustrious footsteps to ensure that David Morris designs are as fresh, enduring and sought-after as ever – the London Jeweller with 12 boutiques worldwide and universal appeal.
