Crystal Haze
When Stephen Webster launched his Crystal Haze collection in the mid-90s, the "establishment baulked" at the idea of it being considered as fine jewellery. Everything changed when Madonna bought one for herself, quickly becoming the must-have accessory and symbol of the independent women who bought her own fine jewellery.
"In 1995, after two years of development, we released Crystal Haze, a gem mystery, set into chunky gold settings. The cocktail ring became a Stephen Webster icon. A ring for women that was bought by women."- Stephen Webster

No-nonsense jewellery worn by strong no-nonsense women.The top layer is a heavily faceted natural clear Quartz, acting as a magnifying lens to enhance the colour of the underlying precious stone. The eye-catching black opalescent showcases how the Quartz allows light to enter at hundreds of different angles producing a holographic ‘haze’ of colour that moves as the jewellery is turned. Webster's passion for Crystal Haze shines through each new collection with bold and innovative use of the technique.
The Crystal Haze technique, a signature of Stephen Webster, is the concept of layering and bonding two stones using laser-cutting processes combined with materials as old as time.
Stephen Webster personally sources our rough materials from Tucson, Arizona or Idar-Oberstein. The selected stones are then intricately hand-cut in Germany. Never afraid to experiment, Crystal Haze, incorporates lesser-used materials such as Falcon’s Eye, Hematite, Bull’s Eye and, a variety of mesmerising Opalescent.
