Form is essential in all David Webb jewels, and bold color, hand-hammered gold, intricate enamel work, and whimsical animal pieces continue to be prominently featured in the company’s collections.
Our workshop sits directly above the Company's flagship boutique, in an historic Neo-Classical building on Madison Avenue in New York’s Upper East Side. 28 jewelers, setters, and polishers combine many of David Webb’s long-held traditions with the latest technology in jewelry design and development.
