Condition Notes: A quick look at current retail offerings of this design is enough to make the eyes water. This highly desirable Webb creation is prominently set with diamonds across the entire design, with many available examples consisting only of the half-diamond link version. Inspection under magnification and UV light reveals one area of very minor loss and sporadic scratches to the enamel, though the enamel condition is considered very good. The underside of the concealed foldover clasp is marked "18k/Plat/Webb." The diamonds are set in platinum, while the overall design is crafted in 18k yellow gold. Accompanied by a signed David Webb necklace box for safe keeping.
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.
