“My debut into the industry was in 2008, when former business partner and aunt Sharon Swilling formed the label Boho Designs,” Davis said. “In 2014, I branched out more into the deep seas to refresh myself with my current self-titled label Davis Lawrence.” As described by its founder, Davis Lawrence is an emerging label that offers a flair: an array of exclusive neck pieces that would surely grab the fashion world attention, regardless of the occasion. “Within the label, I tend to challenge myself out to do my last creation,” he said. “Innovation is the key in the fashion industry. “Davis Lawrence Fashion Jewelry pushes to keep its consumers anticipating what's next from this emerging label. You can find exclusive eye-catching pieces here including neck pieces, necklaces, hair accessories, trinkets, earrings, bracelets and so much more.” Davis Lawrence Neal Jr. is a 30-year-old ambitious man. After having studied jewelry making at the Maryland Institute College of Art, he developed his love for creativity, a love that finally led him into the fashion industry. Davis Lawrence designs pieces that speak to any and every one regardless of the age. “I design what fits within the market, like what's needed now.” Davis is deeply attached to what he does. “The reason I've chose my name Davis Lawrence for my label was due to the mere fact that I'm my label. Every pieces I create is Davis Lawrence, the way I see beauty.” Davis doesn’t want his pieces to be part of people’s lives for only one day, but for many years. “I'm thinking and creating on the lines of longevity, pieces that are considered a staple to one's wardrobe, something that can be passed down from generation to generation.”
