Unique Jewelry Designers Biography
Source(google.com.pk)I have a passion for Jewelry and design. The inspiration for the pieces that I create come from the trees, the flowers, the fire and the water. My designs have a very organic feel using shapes and patterns found in nature. I am driven by creating unique designs that showcase the inspiration that I find in Chaing Mai and in nature.
Because of the wealth of cultural history and the sheer number of traditional designs and artisans, I have had access to a unique collection of materials to craft my collections from. It is from these raw materials that my jewelery takes shape. The cultural heritage of Chiang Mai is alive inside my jewelery.
My artistic back ground is in painting and the arts and the skills I gained studying painting easily transfer themselves to my passion for jewelery. The thing that I strive for more than anything else is to give make unique jewelery that will be loved and cared for throughout generations. Nothing would makes more more proud than to know that I will be able to make people happy, long after I am gone.
Each of the stones that I use has been hand selected to be of the highest quality and only the best components are used. I put a great deal of time into the selection of materials for each individual design and this care and effort shows in the quality of each piece.
I am a very experienced jeweler and I have been working in this industry for more than 15 years. My jewelery has been featured in the pages of major fashin magazines and has graced the shelves of some of the top design houses in the USA and UK. Metal studio is my private project and workshop it is not so much a store but a place to display my unique works and to greet my customers and allow them to experience the care and devotion that goes into each piece.

Born and raised in Asheville, North Carolina, David Webb began designing jewelry as a young boy. He apprenticed in his uncle's silversmith shop and learned metal smithing techniques. Webb arrived in New York at the young age of seventeen and got a job repairing jewelry in Greenwich Village. Blond, handsome, and positively brimming with Southern charm, Webb navigated his way through New York society and met Antoinette Quilleret, a wealthy socialite who immediately recognized his design talents. They opened a shop in 1945. Business wiz Nina Silberstein was brought in by Quilleret to handle the bookkeeping, and eventually she and Webb bought out the socialite and founded David Webb Inc. The jewelry designs immediately caught the attention of department stores such as Bergdorf Goodman. Besides his design genius, David Webb was a highly skilled jeweler who would often take the time to sit with his artisans and demonstrate precisely how he wanted his jewelry to be crafted. No detail, no matter how small, escaped his expert eye. Before long, David Webb jewelry was sought after by the most stylish and demanding design connoisseurs.
Although best remembered for his animal and nature inspired designs, the breadth of his design legacy is actually staggering. In particular, his Art Deco pieces combining diamonds, enamel and south sea pearls remain completely modern. The jewelry designer was known as an innovator, brightly colored bold animal motifs, and luxurious necklaces are the firm’s signature.
David Webb jewelry has been closely associated with socialites and movie stars virtually since its inception. Movie sirens Ava Gardner and Lana Turner wore their David Webb jewelry both on and off the big screen. Style mavens like Princess Grace of Monaco, the Duchess of Windsor, Merle Oberon, and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis were loyal customers. Elizabeth Taylor featured 4 pages of David Webb jewelry in "My Love Affair with Jewelry," the photo book of her legendary collection. Diana Vreeland, the legendary editor of Harper's Bazaar, was rarely seen without her beloved David Webb black and white enamel zebra bangle with tiny diamonds interspersed on its mane and cabochon ruby eyes. In the seventies, the image of a young Diane von Furstenberg with her thick mane of dark, wavy hair wearing a big, bold David Webb necklace on the cover of Vogue epitomized the best of that glamorous style period.
Tragically, David Webb died young of an aggressive form of pancreatic cancer in 1975 but not before leaving an incredibly rich and diverse archive of bold, beautiful and intricate jewelry to be treasured and carefully preserved for generations to come. To this day, his vision and legacy are carefully preserved by Nina Silberstein, his original business partner and her family in the Manhattan atelier bearing his name. Each piece is still carefully crafted from start to finish by skilled artisans in a workshop located above the flagship Madison Avenue store, the last of its kind in New York City. David Webb original jewelry still remains highly collectable
