David Leight founded his studio after training at Pilchuck Glass School in 1999. 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. In 2004, he began using his skills to make jewelry. He is the creator of the award-winning Leightworks line of sterling silver and crystal jewelry.

Responding to rising materials costs, in 2025 David created a new line of crystal and stainless steel jewelry called Aurora. Each piece is hand-made in David's studio in San Diego, California. Hand-cut crystal is fused with precious metals to create an inner glow of color. Pieces are finished by setting into non-tarnishing Stainless Steel settings.
