A fantastical fusion of myth and material mastery, this exceptional Chimera bangle by David Webb is a triumph of imagination rendered in vivid color and rich texture. Sculpted in platinum and 18K yellow gold, the hinged bracelet is adorned with carved coral and crowned at each terminal with fierce opposing chimera heads—each set with cabochon emerald eyes and capped with polished jade beads.

Accents of glossy black enamel and pavé-set diamonds heighten the drama, while the bracelet’s symmetrical architecture and seamless articulation showcase Webb’s extraordinary technical precision. The bold contrast of hues—fiery coral, inky black, lush green, and diamond brilliance—creates an unforgettable visual rhythm.

In ancient Greek mythology, the Chimera was a legendary creature composed of multiple animals—often depicted with the body of a lion, a goat’s head, and a serpent’s tail—symbolizing a force both fearsome and fantastical. Revered as a guardian and emblem of strength, it has long inspired artists and jewelers alike. David Webb’s rendition distills that storied symbolism into wearable art, transforming the mythical into the magnificent.

A commanding jewel of layered meaning and masterful construction, this bracelet celebrates the convergence of history, imagination, and unmistakable style.
