British designer-jeweller Stephen Webster has forged a reputation as a “Rock Star” jeweller, the Golden Boy of contemporary fine jewellery. He sells in Britain and across the United States, and also in Japan and Moscow where he has recently opened his own boutique.
“My style is probably best described as confident; I try to make jewellery as glamorous as it can be, and there’s a touch of Gothic about it too.  People expect my jewellery to be challenging, edgy, colourful, bold, and I try to develop my new collections within the confines of that particular style. Interestingly though, my jewellery crosses genders and also appeals to men.”

“I do sell to Rock Stars, like Ozzie or Elton, and then I can design what I like, which I really enjoy. Mostly they want yellow gold, and in Los Angeles in general, there’s a lot more yellow gold being worn.  As a craftsperson and a designer, I find 18 carat yellow gold the ultimate material, the most satisfying, most malleable to work. I love the way gold looks and particularly the finishes it takes, hard, soft or textured.  No other material does that.”

“Now, with a shift away from the heavily gemset look, yellow gold by itself is quite casual, and younger clients think it’s hip. White gold without stones is not as satisfying as yellow gold, and yellow gold works well with warm colours of stones, and opaque materials.  There is a warmth and confidence about gold; young women are so confident about their individual style today.  Not so long ago, young women came into the shop and said, “My mother would love this . . .” Now the mother comes in and says, “My daughter would love this . . .”
