Mick Milligan & David Courts

 Above and below, David Court bracelet (above) and Tiger Ring (below)
Alastair Best wrote about these 2 controversial jewellers in the Design Journal and thought David Court was more of an extremist than Mick Milligan, who lived in Paris in the early 1960s and trained at the Royal College.  Milligan was involved in controversy over the cover of the Blind Faith music album which featured a very young girl holding a silver space ship which he had made whilst at the College.  Milligan also accessorised Zandra Rhodes with some bold baroque jewels.
