Fascinated with the idea of suspending stones the way musical notes are suspended on a staff, Margo Morrison launched her jewelry collection, known as MARGO MORRISON NEW YORK, in 2001.
It was a natural evolution for Margo, as she developed her love of music and art while growing up in Cleveland, Ohio. She enjoyed going to the opera, visiting museums, and studied classical piano, performing as a soloist with an orchestra when she was just 16 years old.
Margo describes her jewelry, which is handmade in her Manhattan studio, as "visual music”. Signature looks play off positive and negative space, while combining complementary colors, textures and shapes. Margo’s feminine yet edgy designs incorporate faceted gemstones and lustrous freshwater pearls. She knots her stones on beige nylon cord, giving the illusion of floating stones.
MARGO MORRISON NEW YORK jewelry, also inspired by Margo’s travels around the world, offers accessible luxury to women of all ages, as well as a growing celebrity fan base. Chef-author Ina Garten doesn’t go anywhere without her baroque pearl earrings. Actresses Blake Lively, Debra Messing, Julia Roberts, Julianne Moore, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Sharon Stone are part of Margo Morrison's growing celebrity clientele list, wearing her jewelry on camera and off.
