new york based jewelry house fenton's fall 2005 collection is inspired by lyrics of morrissey and the smiths. the jewelry collection is carried at stores like barneys in new york, seattle, and los angeles, and ikram in chicago. sterling silver cuffs and bangles, for men and women, are etched with various lyrics ("scratch my name on your arm with a fountain pen," "i'd rather be famous than righteous or holy," "love is natural and real but not for such as you and i," and so on...). style.com will feature an article on the designer and her inspirations, as well as upcoming issues of elle, british glamour, and british vogue. look for fenton in harvey nichols london, as well as hong kong!!!

  • I'd much, much rather have the CD than the jewelry and sheet set...these merchandisers are something else.

  • Do you think Moz will receive any compensation for the use of his lyrics? Intellectual property and all that stuff, I mean... Anyone in law know anything about this and care to chime in? Seeing as they're taking words from copyrighted songs, they can't just say, "Oh, we just put phrases together" or something since quite a few people will recognize from whence they came...

    but a jewelry chain in SO CAL used "There Is A Light..." in it's commercials last year. they played the crap out of it for a few months and i never saw it again.

    i'm guessing the company was sued or went out of business

  • we would like to clarify that the inspiration coming from morrissey was from rusholme ruffians "scratch your name..." and the fans that tattoo themselves with morrissey's lyrics. from that, we are scrimshawing or tattooing IMAGES into bone pendants. we are not using morrissey's lyrics on bracelets for sale. we produced a few for friends who have supported us but they were gifts and are not for sale. we don't have any idea where this information is coming from...we ARE carried at Barneys, not at Harvey Nichols. we would love for you to check out our collection but realize that the collection is inspired also by victorian mourning and oscar wilde. morrissey's connection is solely through tattooed ink and his obsession with oscar wilde. WE ARE NOT USING HIS LYRICS FOR PROFIT. however, we would like to use this opportunity to thank morrissey and the smiths for putting out music that matters and for giving us endless hours of happiness while we work on our collections.

  • Well, I am late in this discussion, but I think that if Morrissey can sue this company, he could be sued as well. After all, he took a lot of his lines from films, books and other people's songs.
