Hearts On Fire Taps Stephen Webster for First Collaboration
The Boston-based diamond company enlisted the British designer for a collection called “White Kites.”

Boston--For Hearts On Fire’s first collaboration with any other brand, the company pulled out all the stops, enlisting master British jeweler Stephen Webster to design a collection.
“As Hearts On Fire grows globally, it is important that we continue to elevate our design offerings; however, not just any brand would make sense for a collaboration like this,” said Caryl Capeci, president of Hearts On Fire.
“Stephen Webster is a like-minded brand with the same goals and core values as Hearts On Fire. Both of our brands are innovative and fearless and committed to perfection; therefore, we loved the idea of a partnership that would continue to push the industry with unique designs and creativity.”
Italian designer Ilaria Lanzoni is Hearts On Fire’s resident designer, but “Hearts On Fire by Stephen Webster” is completely a product of Webster’s design ethos.
“It was crucial that we used language and inspiration to create pieces that are instantly recognizable as Stephen Webster designs,” Webster explained, “while at the same time ensuring that the diamonds are the heroes of the collection.”
The first “Hearts On Fire by Stephen Webster” collection exclusively uses Hearts on Fire’s patented-cut diamonds and is the first all-diamond collection Webster has produced.
It’s inspired by birds of prey and has been dubbed “White Kites” after the striking hawk that is native to South America and parts of the southern United States.
“We were drawn to the command and grace of the white kite in action as we felt it to be the perfect inspiration for a collection of jewelry that demonstrates how nature’s perfect combination of lightness and strength can also be feminine and glamorous,” said Webster of the inspiration.
Reminiscent of a hawk’s plumage, White Kites sets round, Hearts On Fire diamonds in marquise shaped “feathers.” The collection consists of 36 styles comprised of collars, bracelets, rings and earrings in 18-karat white and rose gold.
It retails from $2,750 to $350,000.
It’s available now at both Hearts On Fire and Stephen Webster retail boutiques, plus Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue and select fine jewelry retailers.
