Robert Lee Morris Small/Medium Silver Knuckle Ring

This small/medium sized ring is probably the one that will fit most fingers, as it is a tiny bit larger in its size than the others. These unusual and striking rings literally helped secure an iconic look, and a mythical image for Morris at the very beginning of his career. These have been copied all over the world by rip off artists, and have been selling in street markets since the mid 1970’s, but always an inferior product. These rings are sterling silver, made in New York City, and are flexible enough to open up in the back to allow for variable sizing, depending on one’s finger shape and desire to wear it either on the knuckle or below it if possible. Janet Jackson memorialized these rings when she launched her album Velvet Rope where she was interviewed wearing ten rings, one on each finger. Each ring is signed by Morris and marked .925 which is the mark for sterling silver. In the photo of the white hand, this ring is on the thumb.
