Robert Lee Morris Sterling Silver Dagger Pendant

The strong, simple and stark design of the Robert Lee Morris Sterling Silver Dagger Pendant is what makes this piece so memorable. The weight alone at 1 full ounce of solid silver of this elegant piece will make one smile. It is also a visual feast. The strength of the unadorned form, the beveled blade, the large handle with hole in it makes this a must have collectors item. Designed in the mid to late 1980’s during the craze for casual jewelry in fashion and especially the concept of pendants on cords, worn as singles  or in combination with other designs was a national obsession. The story behind the dagger is male fertility and strength. It was part of a great collection of male/female myths, symbols os magic and humanity. The last photo in the gallery below shows many of the mythological pendants in a group for size comparison. This pendant comes on a black leather cord, but will also look great on a silver chain, ( not shown).
