DAMAGE??
MUCH more damaged than indicated on the back of the book and on the cover edges. Gave as a Christmas gift and did not see until they pointed out. VERY EMBARRASED..READ FINE print when purchasing preowned. I should have asked for pictures. The book was expensive. There were other options the same price with no damage.

America's American Jeweler
Beautiful Book. History of a jewelry designer legend, David Webb. Everyone interested in design should read about the philosophy of this truly brilliant man and the people for whom he designed. There has never been a design craftsman so wholly American since perhaps Paul Revere.Americans should be proud of the legacy David Webb left for them in his work, his design and in the words by which he lived. To call him "The Quintessential American Jeweler" is no exaggeration of who he was.

Beautiful Book!
I pre-ordered this book because I adore David Webb jewelry. There are lots of books out there about other jewelers, but I couldn't find much on Webb, so I ordered this sight unseen. I was not disappointed. There is plenty of written information, but also plenty of wonderful photos. Just the right balance. There was some biographical info about Mr. Webb, which I was grateful to see since there is so little information on him. All in all, a wonderful book.

Fabulous Book
Worth every cent! If you love his coral jewelry, especially the carved coral bracelets - the photographs will surpass your greatest expectations. ALL the photography is outstanding - the book is huge and it's worth $100 or more - so Amazon's price is a steal. There are so many stunning pieces that's it's overwhelming .............. This is one of the best jewelry books I've ever seen.

I'm a new believer
Let's start saying I never liked David Webb jewelry until I saw this book. I always thought his jewelry was too big too gaudy to enjoy. But this book great photos and analysis make me change my mind. Now adjectives like bold, strong, powerful come to mind when I see the jewels. And prices keep escalating in auctions so the book is a cheaper alternative to enjoy them!

Informative and Interesting History of Jewelry Design
I love this book...David Webb was a true artisan and genius. His talent was was so totally immeasurable. This man's creative genius was flocked to by the ultra rich. They gobbled up his creations almost as quickly as he could produce them them...This book is an awesome representation of David Webb's very best work

Almost perfect
Without a doubt, this is a beautiful book. Beautiful photos and engaging text. Disappointingly, there's no technical information about how the jewels are/were made. Nothing on how his iconic animal bangles are constructed, scant information on his carved gems and zero on the workshop itself. A shame.
