London: Cocktales: A Hedonistic History with Stephen Webster
Hosted by Core member Dalia Daou and Jeweller Stephen Webster
What a beautiful evening Gem X had at Stephen Webster’s Mayfair salon this past Tuesday evening. Stephen and his salon manager Elena were consummate hosts, welcoming us into their stunning space to view the even more stunning cocktail rings on display, all from their current exhibition. Stephen shared his stories of celebrity clients, favourite designs and brilliant inspiration. The common ingredient throughout was Stephen’s love of the cocktail ring. A carefree jewel that is the embodiment of a party, a celebration for the sake of celebrating, and a showcase of independence and personality. We found that Stephen’s rings tell tales almost as well as their creator, who serves his straight up with a tangy twist of humor (fitting for a designer whose cocktail of choice is the gin martini). Huge thanks to Stephen, Elena and Dalia Daou for hosting us, and cheers to the cocktail ring
