Meticulously handcrafted, the earrings are composed of nickel and lead-free metal, reducing the likelihood of triggering any allergic reactions. This hypoallergenic jewelry highlights the legacy of renowned designer Robert Lee Morris, who redefined the standards of fashion jewelry by creating wearable art in distinctive, sensuous, organic forms.

In his early 20s, Robert began designing jewelry, crafting pieces that embodied a distinct vision: hammered silver and brass cuffs, breastplates, and body armor in sculpted metal, all fusing tribal elements with bold, futuristic shapes. His work caught the eye of a respected Boston art gallery owner, who invited him to showcase his artist jewelry at the Sculpture to Wear gallery inside the Plaza Hotel lobby.

Shortly after arriving in New York City in 1974, Robert's name became synonymous with soft, sensual jewelry accentuated by bold elements. The Robert Lee Morris brand experienced a major breakthrough in 1976 when his gladiator bubble collar graced the cover of Vogue, and his work was subsequently featured in every issue for seven consecutive years.

In 1977, Robert created the Artwear jewelry gallery, during which time he collaborated with the fashion industry's foremost designers, working closely with several iconic ready-to-wear fashion brands to create 36 collections. Robert Lee Morris continues to define the essence of American jewelry design, imbuing intense creativity into his collections season after season, transcending his role from designer to artist at its purest form.

Robert's legacy of timeless, evocative pieces continues to inspire and bridge the worlds of fashion and art, capturing the culture and perspective of our time. The striking malachite drop earrings exemplify his distinctive vision, merging tribal elements with bold, futuristic aesthetics to create a modern, versatile, and hypoallergenic accessory.
