Samuel Morse (1791-1872), a well-known portrait painter by trade, began his quest for an easier and more economical communication solution in the 1830's as newly realized electromagnetism was being talked about through much of the world.Although a multiple-wire electromagnetic telegraph system was introduced in 1833, Morse took it one step further, developing a single wire system which could signal over a much longer distance and allowed operators to engage electrical current using a single key. His less costly system was adopted quickly by railroads and other businesses. The discovery also led him to develop the popular Morse Code, which became the universal language of the telegraph and is still in use today.

You have probably heard of Morse code before but most likely not in the context of jewelry design. Morse code was invented nearly 200 years ago in 1830 by Samuel F.B. Morse. It was created as a way of sending messages via a telegraph (remember that phones were not invented until 1849, and the first US patent for a phone wasn’t granted until 1876).

By recording the dots and dashes and then deciphering them, you can spell out names, places, sentences, and more. A...
