Jewelry from the 1950s and early 1960s
David Webb. His love for nature was shaped in jewelry of all sizes and varieties. Almost all of his animal decorations were designed in the 1960s. This decade was innovative in the field of jewelry fashion, a new look, a new era. Times were changing and he embraced them: a rich assortment of gold, enamel, colors, textures and shapes synthesized into new geometries that reflected the spirit of the 1970s.
After his death in 1975, he left an incredible legacy, which was managed by the Silberstein Family for 35 years. The company began expanding and growing into new markets such as Beverly Hills, Houston and Kuwait.
In 2010 the company was sold to Sima Gkhadamyan, Mark Emanuel and Robert Sadian. They plan to carry forward a rich tradition of design, craftsmanship and creativity, all of which represent the legacy of David Webb, America’s unique genius.
David Webb has always had a great
international success – there are Webb stores in Europe, the Middle East, the Far East, South and Central America. David Webb jewelry attracts attention in the windows of jewelry stores – funny monkeys, unicorns and zebras, but their cost is certainly not cheap, since only precious metals are used in their manufacture, mainly platinum and gold. Almost all jewelry is designed with rubies and diamonds. There are products with gems, such as turquoise and jadeite, but they are few. Such jewelry can only be worn with evening dresses for expensive receptions, in everyday life they will look ridiculous and lonely.
The face of the new collection of David Webb is the Hungarian model Eniko Michalik. The young model at the age of 27 took part in the original photo shoot. In the photographs, she poses with a small copy of the famous photographer Terry Richardson, and Terry himself captured her at the same time.
