An informative article on the Justin Davis style and the brand’s illustrious founder. This article charts the reader through the history of the Justin Davis label brand and its rapid rise to the apex of the sterling silver gothic jewelry industry.

Who is Justin Davis?

An ex-student of New York High School of Art & Design and Parsons School of Design, Justin Davis has worked in the design business for over 30 years now. Just before venturing into jewelry creation, he operated a fashion line in New York City’s Upper West Side, and subsequently, produced his personal clothing lines. Davis is of the 2nd generation of silver sterling jewelry masons who entered the business after Gaboratory, Chrome Hearts, Bill Wall Leather & SoulFetish.

Outside pressure & inspiration: Like many craftsmen, Justin Davis’s life in 1970s Los Angeles eventually pushed him to produce jewelry and accessories in the Rock and Roll style. His relations with a number of the Hollywood celebrities influenced him him to manufacture and craft a chain of “rock & roll” clothing, jewelry & accessories. Davis was also crazy about royalty and this is evident in numerous of his designs, which strongly feature crowns & precious gems commonly linked with royalty. Moreover, Davis was inspired largely by his regular travels, where he went to the various museums, art and historic icons in Milan, Paris and other cultural hubs throughout the western world.

Justin Davis jewels debuted in the spring of 2001. Currently, the Justin Davis label are offered in lines all over Japan, Taiwan & Hong Kong, the very same markets where other top gothic jewelry designers have chosen to set up shop.

Justin Davis’s jewelry line is also popularly referred to as Biker’s Jewelry (also known as gothic sterling silver, rocker jewelry and rock and roll jewelry) due to its immense popularity with bikers worldwide.

The Justin Davis line of motorbiker jewelry includes a number of unique yet elegant designs made from 925 Sterling Silver, 18K yellow gold, as well as 18K white gold. Notably, Davis’s line of 925 sterling Silver jewelry & accessories has garnered popularity in recent times, with the meteoric increase in the popularity of gothic punk and motorbiker jewelry. Davis’s jewelry is often donned by a special realm of motorbike fans, in particular Harley Davison customers who are often observed with thick Sterling Silver chains, heavy necklaces and black leather overalls. Justin Davis is relatively unknown in the USA & the bulk of its fame has been derived from Japan. Justin is also the co-partner of Royal Order (by Cheryl Rixon Davis).

Why replicas, fakes and Justin Davis inspired jewelry is rising in popularity

In recent years, Justin Davis jewelry has faced challenges from countless offshore competitors of equal capacity and talent, resources and ability to offer equally detailed, beautiful & expertly crafted luxury gothic silver jewelry to bikers & other fans at a fraction of Justin Davis jewelry prices. Today, fans of gothic silver jewelry are given an extensive range of alternatives to original Justin Davis jewelry. Gothic silver jewelry fans are starting to wise up to the reality of branding, which is truly nothing more than an imaginary concept. Brand is not something that customers will always be willing to pay for. In view of the widespread availability of cheaper and equally well-crafted offerings, it is no surprise that designer label jewelry isn’t an unusual or rare sight on the streets notwithstanding the luxury brand pricing of the original. The new and somewhat wiser sentiment is: why burn a hole in your pocket on luxury label jewelry when one can get a practically identical product made from the same top quality 925 sterling silver at a small fraction of the price?

However, in purchasing alternatives in the form of fakes or similarly styled inspired designs, it is critical to first know the grade of jewelry you are paying for. Justin Davis Jewelry competitors range from top quality alternatives and close replicas by bona fide jewelers to mass-producing manufacturers who churn out poorly made imitations made from base metals such as aluminium and copper.
