Meet
Dr. Norman David
...Where Academic Excellence Meets Artisan Craftmanship
The Journey
Norman David's path to jewelry design is as unconventional as it is intentional.
​
With over four decades in academia, teaching cognitive psychology at the highest levels across the United States and internationally, Dr. David brought the rigor of experimental science to everything he touched. His Ph.D. in Applied Cognitive Psychology shaped a career consulting on user interface design for military and industrial applications, where precision and human experience were everything.
​
But alongside the lab coats and lectures, another passion quietly grew.
​
For fifty years, Norman has worked with exotic woods, learning their language, honoring their grain, understanding how each piece tells its own story. What began as a fascination evolved into mastery. And mastery led to transformation.
​
Today, Norman creates jewelry that bridges two worlds: the discipline of a scientist and the soul of an artisan.
The PHILOSOPHy
Every piece is handcrafted from sustainably sourced materials, exotic woods enhanced with gold and silver accents that honor both the material and the wearer. No templates. No repetition. No mass production.
​
This is jewelry as psychology: each design emerges from an understanding that what we wear should reflect who we are. Norman's academic background in cognitive and behavioral science informs a unique approach, creating pieces that are not just beautiful, but deeply personal. One-of-a-kind, because you are.
​
The grain patterns, the weight, the way light moves across the surface, these aren't accidents. They're intentions. And they're yours alone.
The COMMITMENT
In an industry saturated with replicas and rushed production, Norman's work stands apart. Each piece takes time. Each material is chosen with care. Each design respects the earth that provided it.
This is jewelry for those who value the unrepeatable. For those who understand that true luxury isn't about logos, it's about meaning.

Welcome to jewelry that thinks. That breathes. That belongs only to you.
