Created by David Webb in the United States during the 1960s, this extraordinary brooch transforms the traditional cross into a bold work of wearable sculpture. Composed of twisted 18 karat yellow gold wirework and set throughout with round brilliant-cut diamonds, the design radiates outward in sweeping strands that create remarkable dimension and fluidity.
Approximately 25 carats of round brilliant-cut diamonds illuminate the jewel, each strand meticulously arranged to maximize brilliance and movement. The interplay between the sparkling diamonds and Webb's signature textured goldwork creates a striking visual rhythm, characteristic of the house's most celebrated creations. Monumental in scale and unmistakably glamorous, the brooch exemplifies the fearless creativity that established David Webb as one of America's most important jewelry designers.
Both architectural and exuberant, this exceptional jewel captures the bold sophistication of 1960s high jewelry at its finest.
A highly collectible David Webb creation, showcasing the house's iconic combination of sculptural goldwork, extraordinary diamond presence, and bold mid-century American design.
