Reference: David Spada (December 5, 1961 - May 13, 1996) was a jewelry designer in New York City in the 1980s and 1990s and the creator and marketer of Freedom Rings
Spada attended the Parsons School of Design in the early 1980s, graduating around 1982.
He began making jewelry as a student, and his work gained recognition as early as 1984 when a piece made from orange rubber tubing was featured in the New York Times.
Spada became known for his creations in colored anodized aluminum. He used the material to create various shapes, including rings, earrings, clothing, and swimwear embellished with aluminum decor.
He eventually opened a boutique, Casa di Spada, in New York's Lower East Side, which sold his jewelry designs, clothing, and custom items.
According to a 1992 NY Times article, freedom rings were introduced in San Francisco in 1991 as a fundraising item at the gay and lesbian Community's annual Freedom Day Parade and quickly became a national trend. The aluminum rings, which come in rainbow colors and are based on the gay pride flag, have evolved as a symbol of Gay Pride.
"Colors symbolize happiness and feature the community's diversity," David Spada said.
Spada died of AIDS complications on May 13, 1996.
