Condition Notes: A classic David Webb composition, uniting the Big Three gemstones, ruby, emerald, and sapphire, with brilliant diamonds. The center ruby measures approximately 8.85 x 6.75 x 4.65 mm, while the surrounding cabochon-cut emeralds and sapphires range from 3.15 mm to 4.50 mm in diameter.
As is typical with many Webb rings, a white gold horseshoe-shaped sizing insert is installed internally. While primarily intended for comfort, it also offers slight sizing support. This insert is marked Webb / 18k / PLAT.
Minor wear is visible to the shank, and under magnification, subtle surface-reaching inclusions can be observed in some of the gemstones, consistent with natural material.
David Webb: Formed in 1946 by partners David Webb and Nina Silberstein, David Webb Inc. created colorful jewelry recognized for its bold, sculptural design. Webb drew inspiration from the work of Cartier, Seaman Schepps, Faberge and Verdura. His passion for color, texture, enamel, gems and unusual materials brought him to the forefront of jewelry design in the 1950s and 1960s. His fondness for nature and ancient cultures influenced his most famous motifs, stylized animals and flowers. David Webb created contemporary wearable gold sculptures until his death in 1975. He left behind a legacy as one of the pioneers of American jewelry design. David Webb Inc. continues to produce jewelry based upon original artwork and sketches, under new ownership. Avg Color: G-H-I
