The story

A vibrant pair of David Webb earrings, crafted in 18-karat yellow gold and set with richly colored cabochon gemstones and diamonds. The design centers around a floral cluster composed of cabochon emeralds, sapphires, and a ruby, framed by curved gold forms pavé-set with brilliant-cut diamonds.

The sculptural arrangement reflects Webb’s celebrated aesthetic—bold forms, saturated color, and strong contrast between smooth cabochon stones and sparkling diamonds. The stylized leaf-like contours create a sense of movement while maintaining the architectural precision that defines the house’s work from the late 1960s and 1970s.

During this period, David Webb established himself as one of the most important American jewelers of the twentieth century, known for powerful designs that blended classical motifs with vivid gemstone palettes. These earrings exemplify that distinctive language.

Excellent vintage condition with light wear consistent with age.

A classic example of David Webb’s bold gemstone design, combining saturated cabochon color with sculptural gold and diamond brilliance.
