David & Martin are the only Swedish jewellers to be included in a forthcoming book Fashion Jewellery Catwalk and Couture by Maia Adams and they were also included in the exhibition of the same name at Colette which took place over Paris Fashion Week.

The book profiles 33 international fashion jewellers who combine traditional techniques and ultra-modern methods to create a new style of jewellery of which the author believes is arguably the most exciting field in fashion today. David & Martin are interviewed in the book alongside Louis Vuitton, Vivienne Westwood, the late Alexander McQueen, Judy Blame and Comme des Garcons. Adams believes that the allure of fashion jewellery is the endless scope for re-invention, the craftsmanship, unusual materials and an often-limited edition approach, which harnesses the spirit of couture for the 21st century.

David and Martin met while studying at Konstfack in Stockholm and their jewellery brand was born out of a mutual interest in fashion, nature, art and rather obscure movies. David & Martin’s unique style has generated a global following, including fashion icon Karl Lagerfeld who invited them to take part in a joint project. Other collaborations have been with Acne, Weekdays “Memento Mori” and Absolut. David & Martin have won “Outstanding Jewellery Designer” from Elle Magazine and “Accessory Brand of the Year” from Swedish Magazine Cafe.
