England is also home to featured jewelry designer Serretta Morris.
Style maven Coco Chanel sums up Morris’ classic aesthetic
perfectly: Simplicity is the key note of
all true elegance.
The great thing
about classic jewelry style is its versatility.
Morris’ collections of dainty gemstone necklaces, beaded bracelets and drop earrings provide the kind of wonderful understatement that someone who doesn’t like fussing over their jewelry can appreciate.
Designs aren’t too blingy or too glossy. They aren’t distracting or detracting. They are the perfect accent. In most cases the color palette for semi-precious gemstones is muted: soft pink coral, white pearls, and pale blue amazonite. In other instances gemstone colors are deep like lapis lazuli or red coral yet Morris never strays far from clean silhouettes.

Accents of gold vermeil beads step up the flair as do
flirty, tiny gold chains. The pared down
pearl jewelry from her children’s line, Luluju,
lends itself perfectly to starting off a young girl to wear jewelry. Her delicate and feminine bridal jewelry
collection, which includes headbands, consists mainly of white freshwater
pearls. The perfect look for that
special day.
“All of my jewelry is handmade in my studio. I love gemstones. I never use plastic or imitation stones. I think gemstones are most beautiful in their
natural state. So I embrace organic
imperfections,” she says.

“Rough finishes and fascinating color variations add to
their beauty. My bridal designs are
inspired by the costumes of ancient Greek and Roman goddesses.
I create jewelry for women who appreciate quality and style whether that look is a vintage, classic, or contemporary look.”
