Jewels at my Doorstep — Motif Collection by David Webb - Gem Gossip

The iconic and powerful designs we all know and love of famous American jeweler David Webb just got a little more accessible, and fashion forward women everywhere are springing for their car keys to drive to their nearest location to try these on! The collection is called Motif and it is inspired by pieces within the archives that date back to the mid-1970s which play upon symbols like arrows, zig zags, the letter U, and the rhombus shape. The geometric forms and patterns are given a bold look, created in black and white enamel, 18k gold, platinum and diamonds, true to David Webb’s signature style. What is different about this new collection is the size and price point, compared to what we typically see from David Webb. The Motif Collection is smaller in scale, allowing prices to range from $4,700 to $11,800. This also allows for stacking, which is clearly one of my favorite aspects of wearing jewelry.

I was really excited to have the opportunity to style, stack and play with the Motif Collection as the jewels arrived at my doorstep for this collaboration. I experienced first hand how these pieces easily lend themselves to stacking and the black and white colors make them classic and timeless. I styled the necklaces in a layered formation, choosing all black enamel. I absolutely love these necklaces, worn solo or in a grouping. The rings were another favorite of mine, as seen here I paired my engagement ring with a black enamel and diamond Scape ring from the collection and Instagram went crazy. I’m now slightly obsessing over that ring by looking at that photo far too often throughout the day. Although not shown in these photos, I also took two Scape rings and stacked them together, flat-sides touching, to create an architectural wonder.

The entire Motif Collection is easy to wear and can be dressed up or down. Seen here, I’m wearing a casual dress and the jewelry just pops! After the photoshoot, I changed into jeans and a vintage t-shirt and the look was just as strong and felt appropriate. I couldn’t get over how comfortable the bracelets felt–I could have lived in them, so taking them off to send back to David Webb was extra hard! And the earrings were also very fun, as I chose to wear the Unity earrings alone, with nothing else…and then changed them out to wear the two different versions of the double diamond earrings, both on one ear! Most people would think you can’t stack a bold dangle earring, but I think otherwise!

The Motif Collection can be found at David Webb’s retail locations in New York and Beverly Hills, Bergdorf Goodman, select Saks and Neiman Marcus locations, and several leading independent jewelers. The collection is also available online at DavidWebb.com.
