25 years ago, the ‘World of Webster’ took an unexpected turn as our signature Crystal Haze Ring was spotted on celebrity royalty Madonna. The years that followed this moment, are ones that redefined fine jewellery, with Stephen Webster ‘reinventing the cocktail ring’, according to American Vogue.
At this time, the iconic New York department store, Bergdorf Goodman, was the first to embrace Crystal Haze. Crystal Haze is a signature technique created by Stephen Webster, whereby two stones are layered and bonded together to create a ‘holographic’ haze of colour. This innovative new aesthetic quickly became known as the ultimate ‘women’s self-purchase’ collection and was a status for independence; bought and worn by women, for enjoyment rather than commitment.
This key period in Webster’s journey is one that is still a point of inspiration, and as we flash forward 25 years, we celebrate this iconic year of Crystal Haze with a new contemporary edit; the CH2 Collection.
The CH2 Collection includes Cocktail and Stacking Rings, Stiletto Drop and Shard Hoop Earrings, Pendants with adjustable chains and Bangles made to stack. The collection embodies all of the characteristics of the Stephen Webster aesthetic; bold, eye-catching, innovative, and individual. Available in three core colourways: Turquoise, White Opalescent, and Falcon’s Eye, with a variety of stones featured in the Stacking Rings.
Without Bergdorf Goodman and the enthusiasm of their team, Stephen Webster may not have had a story to tell today. We are delighted to be back where it all began, with the CH2 Collection now available to purchase in Bergdorf Goodman, New York.
"It’s important that we are able to reference the people, places and milestones that provide the roadmap of our journeys." -Stephen Webster MBE
