David Webb (1925-1975)

American jeweler David Webb was born in Asheville, North Carolina and came to New York as a young man to establish his business in 1948. He was self-taught, with an exceptional talent for color as evidenced by the large archive of original sketches he produced. Hammered gold, animal motifs, opaque enamels and bold color combinations – like coral and jade, or carved crystal with black onyx – were all trademarks of his bold designs, which are instantly recognizable. Upon his untimely death at the age of 50, the business was carried on by Nina Silberstein, originally his accountant and then business partner, and her family. In 2009 the firm was purchased by a group of estate jewelers/investors who continue his artistic legacy. David Webb jewelry has always been produced in its own workshops on their own premises in Manhattan, as it is today. Recently, the first retrospective exhibition of his work was held at The Norton Museum of Art in Palm Beach, accompanied by the publication of a book, "David Webb: The Quintessential American Jeweler", by Ruth Peltason.
