Robert Lee Morris for Calvin Klein Sterling Silver Rectangular-Oval Bangle

This Robert Lee Morris for Calvin Klein Sterling Silver Rectangular-Oval Bangle was made for the Calvin Klein Stores in the early to mid 90’s. This architectural design is hard edged and actually feels alot like the Madison Avenue store that Calvin built in 1995. Spare, sleek, minimal, much like his clothing design this bangle is unusual in its iconic Calvin look.

Around 1996, Calvin wanted Morris to create a special unique collection of silver jewelry, bracelets, earrings, and hair barrettes that would smack of the clean minimal CK style, and this is what it looked like. Calvin and Robert had worked beautifully together in 1981 and this was a renewal of that bond. Sold only in his top stores, beginning with the flagship on Madison Avenue in New York City, the craftsmen in the RLM workshop in Soho endeavored to make this very iconic collection. Most of these pieces now listed on this website are actually marked with the Calvin Klein logo and are the remaining prototypes that Morris has in his archives. Calvin was inspired by the jewelry that Georgia O’Keefe wore, which had the feeling of classic Southwestern jewelry.
