Machine Gun Kelly Joins Stephen Webster on the GOSSIP Series

Stephen Webster works in collaboration with Machine Gun Kelly in the new GOSSIP series of jewelry that centers around the 'eight deadly sins.' These are pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath, sloth, and the latest is GOSSIP. The dup join focuses on silver or 18ct gold rings -- each of which is made to depict a sin.

 

The brand states that “Machine Gun Kelly first became aware of Stephen Webster jewelry through the limited-edition collection of cocktail rings, The Seven Deadly Sins, consisting of seven rings each depicting one of the Seven Deadly Sins. Fine jewelry pieces were beyond the 20-year-old’s financial reach at the time, but nonetheless, he never forgot the impression those rings, especially the one depicting lust, made on him.”
