Jewelry by Morgan was founded in 1986 by Morgan Fleming.  The original location was in historic downtown Parkville, Missouri on Main Street.  Having worked in the jewelry industry, both as a diamond broker and a wholesale service shop since 1980, Morgan's expertise in quality and craftsmanship soon took hold!  Jewelry by Morgan quickly became known as a nationally recognized design store.  In 1988, Morgan Fleming secured the sole license with the Grateful Dead rock band to design and sell fine jewelry using Grateful Dead logos.  Soon thereafter, he began work on a project inspired by the objects of jeweled art created by Carl Peter Faberge. This project of building a jeweled egg in the style of Faberge also brought far-reaching publicity and respect for Jewelry by Morgan.  Soon the company was able to move to Boardwalk Square Shopping Center in the Kansas City, Missouri Northland.

 The growth of the business boomed with many original designs being commissioned by both private individuals and the jewelry manufacturers.  As the retail side of the business grew, the wholsale arena was phased out and Jewelry by Morgan's complete attention and energy was focused on servicing the surrounding community.  Jewelry by Morgan has succeeded by focusing on extraordinary design, faultless craftsmanship and impeccable service for its clients.  But I must explain to you how all this mistaken idea of denouncing pleasure and praising pain was born and I will give you a complete account of the system, and expound the actual teachings of the great explorer of the truth, the master-builder of human happiness. No one rejects, dislikes, or avoids pleasure itself, because it is pleasure, but because those who do not know how to pursue pleasure rationally encounter consequences that are extremely painful. Nor again is there anyone who loves or pursues or desires to obtain pain of itself, because it is pain, but because occasionally circumstances occur in which toil and pain can procure him some great pleasure. To take a trivial example, which of us ever undertakes laborious physical exercise, except to obtain some advantage from it? But who has any right to find fault with a man who chooses to enjoy a pleasure that has no annoying consequences, or one who avoids a pain that produces no resultant pleasure?
