About Cornelia Webb
What began as a way to bring inspiration and creativity to Cornelia Web's spare time as a medical student, soon developed into a rapidly growing jewellery business.
With a taste for seductive jewellery with a humorous edge, Cornelia Webb has quickly built a loyal following of style icons such as Nina Person from The Cardigans and editorial coverage include magazines like ELLE, Vogue and L’Officiel.
With her conceptually inspired, avant-garde pieces, Cornelia Webb's creates garments and accessories in a true Scandinavian tone combined with a rough aesthetic. Since designing her first chain dress in 2006, she has been driven by the thought of literally dressing the body in jewellery. Playing with the definition of clothing versus jewellery, she creates designs that are meant not merely to accessorize an outfit, but to integrate with the wearer.
Her bangles, necklaces and chain dresses are pieces to spark adventures, pieces to love and be loved in. True to the craftsmanship and uniqueness of every piece, Cornelia Webb has studied how to work with precious metals and stones, learning the process of clay and wax sculpturing to continue her path as jewellery designer. She now also makes custom made jewellery like engagement rings, wedding bands and special orders for celebrities like Fergie. Today Cornelia Jewellery employs prison inmates to assemble her designs, as both a step in motivating people through creating beautiful things with their hands and as a way to keep production close and limited.
The northern light Aurora Borealis, has lit up the collection for spring/summer 2011. Inspired by the Scandinavian nature and the early colours of spring, the Dressed collection comes in a satin finished taupe, a soft copper and a very unique color, shifting within the spectrum of aurora borealis. To capture the final colour of a northern light, violet, and at the same time adding that pure but rough Scandinavian aesthetic, Cornelia Webb has added raw amethysts to a selection of the dressed pieces. In January 2011 Cornelia received the prestigious award for Best Accessory Designer of the year by ELLE Magazine. With Cornelia Webb’s specific signature design, she continues to mesmerize both press and buyers with a style that can‘t be mistaken for anything else but Cornelia Webb jewellery.
