David Heston may have started off as a jewelry designer for women way back when, but currently some of his biggest fans are men. Many jewelry aficionadios have described his designs as a man’s man jewelry line, producing pieces best described as bold, rugged and masculine. It was due to the inherent alpha male nature of the line, that Heston started making pieces for men. Once he discovered that men indeed liked the designs, the men’s line was born. Clearly it was a genius move, sport stars and actors alike, from Roger Federer, to Eddie Murphy, to Ken Griffey Jr., wear his designs. The original launch of his line, women’s, was at a Neiman Marcus trunk show in 1990, and it was a welcomed relief from all of the Dynasty overtones of oversized stones, large bangles and way to many pearl strands. Suddenly, women were snapped out of their jewelry malaise, and paying closer attention to the designer’s clean lines and contemporary aesthetic. That original design ethos of clean and contemporary, echos through both the women’s and men’s collections to this day, rendering simple, architectural gold and silver pieces.
