Jeweler and jewelry designer David Webb (1925 - 1975) established himself in New York in 1948. Considered one of the most influential American jewelers of the 20th century, he created bold and innovative jewelry. He was nicknamed “the Fabergé of the 20th century” due to his mastery of enameling. Animals, nature, and ancient cultures such as Egypt, Greece, and Rome were his main sources of inspiration. His artisanal creations often combined colorful precious stones (rubies, sapphires, emeralds), finely worked gold, and vibrant enamels.

Webb employed a variety of techniques, such as repoussé goldwork, engraving, chiseling, and enameling, to create large, luxurious pieces that are both artistic and opulent. His creations attracted many celebrities and high-society figures, including Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Elizabeth Taylor, and Barbra Streisand. His 57th Street collection is named after the location of one of his earliest boutiques. Each piece by David Webb is handmade by skilled artisans, and the brand remains synonymous with luxury and innovation in the world of high jewelry, with boutiques in New York and Beverly Hills and a devoted clientele.
