David Webb Diamond Swirl Earrings 18k Yellow Gold & Platinum, Circa 1980s

Movement, captured in gold.

These striking David Webb swirl earrings from the 1980s embody the bold, sculptural aesthetic that defines the house. Designed in a dynamic spiral motif, each earring curves inward in a hypnotic motion—an architectural composition that feels both powerful and fluid. The rich warmth of 18k yellow gold forms the foundation of the design, while platinum-set diamonds trace the inner arc, creating a luminous contrast of texture and tone.

Approximately 1.78 carats of brilliant-cut diamonds are meticulously set along the swirling channels, amplifying the sense of rotation and drawing the eye toward the sculpted golden center. The interplay between matte and polished surfaces enhances depth and dimension, a hallmark of David Webb’s unmistakable craftsmanship.

Measuring 1 inch in diameter, the earrings offer substantial presence without overwhelming the wearer. At 33.1 grams total weight, they carry the satisfying heft associated with Webb’s iconic designs—jewelry meant to be felt as much as seen.

Confident, graphic, and unapologetically luxurious, these earrings reflect the glamour of the 1980s while remaining timeless in execution. A classic from one of America’s most celebrated jewelry houses.
