David's art career officially began after his formal training from the Pilchuck glass school, founded by Dale Chihuly, for the first time in 1999. He was one of the youngest artists to ever attend the school. There he studied the art of shaping and polishing under Mark Taylor. From this experience and work in the class David developed a unique style of cutting crystal based on his observations of crystal and ice and strived to exemplify their characteristics and enhance light in his creations.
While attending college he began showing his sculptural work in local galleries and evolving his style. In 2004 after graduation, David attended Pilchuck again and continued to improve his sculpture techniques. His style became more detailed and precise. Then, in 2004, David got his break. This custom commission enabled David to move to San Diego and open up a studio.
In San Diego, David started to focus on smaller sculptures, candle holders, paperweights etc. incorporating infused technologies developed by NASA.

Working as an independent artist in San Diego, CA since 2004, David Leight has created LeightWorks Crystal Jewelry.
Using his original techniques, each piece of fine optic glass and natural crystal is hand cut and layered inside with precious metals to produce an iridescent glow of color from within.
Different blends of precious metals produce different colors.
The pieces are frost or polish finished, and completed by handcrafting sterling silver and/or gold designs around.
All pieces are custom shaped to enhance the light and color; bringing style, simple elegance and an "Eye-Catching" quality to all who wear them.

Hand-cut, polished quartz crystal and optic glass layered inside with different blends of precious metals that were developed by NASA for astronaut shields and the space shuttle.
We cut and polish each piece like a diamond or opal which enhances the light and color offering a unique style, simple clean elegance, and eye-catching quality to all who wear them.
Different blends of precious metals that are cold-fused inside using UV light create different iridescent prism colors that make the pieces glow from within.
