Created by David Webb in the United States during the 1970s, this sculptural cocktail ring centers on a substantial pearl, surrounded by an asymmetrical spray of round brilliant-cut and marquise-cut diamonds weighing approximately 5.00 carats in total. The diamonds are arranged at varying heights, with the elongated marquise cuts extending outward like rays, lending the composition a remarkable sense of depth and movement.
Crafted in 18K yellow gold, the ring reflects Webb's distinctive approach to American jewelry design, in which generous proportions, strong silhouettes, and contrasting textures become integral to the jewel's character. The pearl's smooth, rounded surface provides a serene counterpoint to the intricate diamond setting, while the articulated finger shank allows the ring to open for ease of wear over the knuckle.
A radiant composition in which the quiet luster of a pearl meets the spirited brilliance of diamonds.
