Textured Gold

Discover magnificent craftsmanship with this collection of hammered and textured gold jewelry from David Webb, a stunning showcase that exceeds the ordinary. Immerse yourself in the allure of over 45 meticulously executed goldsmithing and metalworking techniques, each piece a testament to the artistry and precision that have come to be synonymous with the David Webb name.

When David Webb began designing jewelry, he took inspiration from his art history books and the artworks in the galleries of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Webb was inspired by ancient rulers, warlords, and mythological deities, finding a muse in the intricately patterned gold work of their hair, clothing, diadems, and heavy gold necklaces and shields. Above all else, history is evident in these necklaces, brooches, bracelets, and earrings, and seen explicitly through their defined angles, curlicues, crescents, and scrolls.

Artisans employ ancient techniques, skillfully chasing, stippling, and hammering the gold to achieve a distinctive texture that is both timeless and contemporary. From bold cuffs that command attention to delicately textured rings that whisper sophistication, each creation is a fusion of art and wearability.
