Not only is Stephen an amazing jeweler he is also a dear friend. While on vacation together last year, we discussed the idea of putting together a fundraising event for cancer research that would be unlike most cancer fundraisers. We wanted this event to rock. Then, Stephen as a jeweler who has created pieces for other benefits, asked if we would like him to create a piece for ours. In great discussion the idea of a new kind of cancer bracelet came to mind. We have loved Stephen’s pieces for years and thought why have just one piece of jewelry, why not auction off 250 pieces for cancer research. So with the combination of jewelery (rocks) and rock and roll the Rocks against Cancer name was born. I won’t tell you what the bracelets look like.. you will have to stay tuned to get a peak at them as we get closer to the event.
For those of you who don’t know Stephen: Stephen Webster is one of the leading British figures in the fine jewellery and silver design industries. Webster’s keen eye for detail, expert craftsmanship and glam-rock attitude has given way to dramatic creations with an eternally chic aesthetic. He designed Madonna’s wedding rings, and other clients include Johnny Depp, Sharon Stone, Axl Rose, Carl Barat and Ozzy Osbourne. The unmistakable amalgamation of precious and semiprecious gemstones set in specially treated metals has led Stephen Webster to a three-time win of the “British Luxury Jeweller of the Year” award and winner of “UK Jewellery Brand of the Year” in 2008. Originating from a modest background, Stephen Webster has evolved into a powerful global luxury jewellery brand with over 120 points of sale worldwide in the United States, United Kingdom, Russia, Dubai, Japan, Ukraine, Europe and Hong Kong and over 20 Stephen Webster boutiques internationally. Webster also continues to build his high-profile celebrity following culminating in an alliance with musical artist Christina Aguilera who appears in the brand’s new advertising campaign for Stephen Webster. The Stephen Webster brand offers the consumer a true lifestyle experience — one which has been credited with unprecedented demand. Stephen is now the creative director for Garrads, the oldest jewelry company in the world, founded in 1735, and the supplier of jewels to generations of royals.
