David Webb Files Chapter 11 {Luxist}

Jun 26th 2009 4:54PM B.Moss,
It is with great sadness I read of this news. The Silberstein Family has kept the David Webb name going for decadres past his death. Nina Silberstein is a brilliant business woman who led a very successsful company along with her children Sharon and Stanley. This small company struggled to preserve the beautiful natutralistic enamel designs and others orginating from their onsite factory in NYC. So many other jewlers copied and replicated their designs without the level of old world craftmanship and quality by engaging in cost cutting offshore factories. Post 911, it must have been increasingly diffiuclt to ride the economic downturn which continues today to erode small family businesses throughout our country. But the the large corporations who have trashed our finance and banking systems sustain with tax payer monies. Shame on all of us not supporting the largest business base in theis county, the small independents.
