A note about David Webb.
"David Webb created what the world was looking for with his bold, colorful pieces. Magazine editors wanted jewelry to pop off the pages so readers could see the pieces, Webb’s jewels did just that and more. Webb’s jewelry struck a chord with women who were searching for colorful, bold signature pieces that could just as easily be worn in the daytime as at night. He recognized that structure and color were necessary elements of good design and Webb’s jewels had all of that along with the cachet of being hand-made and a youthful vibrance that was so important during the mid 20th century when he was designing. A quote from Webb in the introduction of the book sums up his philosophy about jewelry, “Jewels though more personal than paintings, should be treated as great works of art, which they surely are.”
