David Webb
A bold and regal expression of 1980s glamour, this David Webb necklace exemplifies the maison's mastery of color, geometry, and scale. Executed in platinum and 18K yellow gold, the design harmoniously juxtaposes richly saturated cabochon amethysts with vivid chrysoprase links, their interplay heightened by the brilliance of pavé-set diamonds.
Each octagonal green chrysoprase link serves as a modernist frame, offsetting the deep violet hues of the amethysts with Webb’s characteristic confidence in color contrast. The detachable pendant, composed of large oval cabochons surrounded by diamond-set intersections, adds a dramatic focal point, while the corresponding ear clips mirror the necklace’s sculptural rhythm.
A masterpiece of technical precision and exuberant style, this suite captures the opulence and artistic daring of the late 20th century. It is both a collector’s jewel and a wearable work of art—quintessentially a David Webb creation.
