THE DIRT

California artist David Heston is inspired by all works of art, both classical and modern, but his style is truly his own. His personality is reflected in his bold contemporary designs.

His original works are a daring mix of sterling silver, 18k gold, rubber, diamonds, and colored stones. A former sculptor, Heston shares, 'Jewelry has endless possibilities of shapes and forms, like sculpture. I'm seduced by the medium.' He applies an architect's approach when constructing his wearable art. He pushes himself to create ever more beautiful forms that flow and move with balance. 'My work from all angles is designed for the discriminating', shares Heston.

Holding a B.A. degree in Fine Arts from the University of Arizona and a Graduate Gemology Degree from the Gemological Institute of America (GIA), Heston continues to redefine cutting edge style, attempting to strike the perfect balance between bold and sculptural with his designs.

David hopes he will continue to evolve and surprise for the next 50 years. With lifestyle in mind David's jewelry is meant to be worn all the time, transitioning from casual to formal wear with ease. His pieces have been seen 'living' on Janet Jackson, Diana Ross, and Rene Russo.
