The story
Created by David Webb in the 1970s, this exceptional bombe ring exemplifies the bold glamour and unmistakable artistry that define the celebrated American jeweler. At its center rests an extraordinary cabochon sapphire weighing 24.83 carats, certified as natural Burmese origin with no indications of heat treatment. The sapphire displays a rich, velvety blue hue and impressive scale, commanding attention from every angle.
The sapphire is dramatically framed by a textured surround of platinum-set round brilliant-cut diamonds, intertwined with Webb’s signature sculptural 18 karat yellow gold mounting. Sixty-two brilliant diamonds, totaling approximately 2.40 carats, create a luminous contrast against the deep blue center stone, while the bold dimensional design embodies the exuberant style that made David Webb a favorite among collectors and tastemakers alike.
Substantial in both presence and craftsmanship, this ring is a masterwork of 1970s high jewelry—powerful, glamorous, and unmistakably David Webb.
