One of America's Pre-Eminent Jewelry Designers
Luxurious simplicity is the signature of jewelry designer Paul Morelli. Innovative designs and the highest quality craftsmanship have made Morelli's work known worldwide. Precious metals and the finest pearls and diamonds create classic jewelry that is modern and defined. Every piece is handmade - diamonds are scattered delicately, creating an elegant shimmer. His pieces are worn by many celebrities, and have been featured in major motion pictures.

He may be the only American jewelry designer dedicated to building his own house in the tradition of the European masters. A visit to his pristine design studio is to immediately understand why Paul Morelli creates the refined and intricate jewelry that in the end appears both modern and classic.
As a child, Paul was immersed in his family business - his father was a theatrical costume designer. His first memories of creating beauty were helping his parents put together elaborate costumes. He began designing jewelry in the 1970s after pursuing a college education in art. His first foray into jewelry design was in collaboration with Giorgio Sant'Angelo.
Since the inception of his business in 1982, Paul Morelli has never lost sight of his vision to create exquisitely unique pieces blending fashion with jewelry design. "I am constantly evolving," says Morelli. "Many designers have a common thread that runs through their work; I am forever changing."
He displays his work in small galleries, but at the same time sends his more prominent pieces to art galleries in Boston and New York.
