"Our first collection of Women's Silver firmly established Stephen Webster within a new market, introducing a younger generation of clientele to our designs. With the new Thorn Collection we plan to touch on a little of the dark glamour we are well known for, creating delicate pieces in sharp contrast to the bold, high volume feel of previous silver collections?, comments Stephen Webster.
