Condition Notes: This necklace by David Webb reflects the designer’s emphasis on form, material, and balance. Crafted in 18k yellow gold, its surface is carved with a continuous, rope-like pattern that coils evenly around the neck. Proportioned to sit high and close, it is designed to be worn as a choker, offering a structured and composed presence. Each terminal is finished with curled ends pavé-set with diamonds in platinum, forming nautilus-shaped focal points. The diamonds are of high clarity and color, with no apparent damage visible as mounting permits. Marked "Webb 18k/Plat," the necklace opens on a hinge for ease of wear.
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
