A striking pair of David Webb ear clips, fashioned in hammered 18K yellow gold, showcases the house’s bold and imaginative design. Each earring is composed of a carved coral disk surmount and a polished lapis lazuli disk drop, both framed in sculptural scroll-like gold mountings. Brilliant-cut diamonds accentuate the coral motifs and center the lapis lazuli disks, while a single diamond bezel-set connector lends movement and balance.

These earrings exemplify Webb’s signature blend of ancient inspiration and modern glamour. While coral and lapis lazuli were each important materials within the house’s repertoire, their use together in a single jewel is particularly rare, underscoring the originality and artistry of this design. The vivid contrast of fiery coral and deep celestial lapis reflects Webb’s passion for bold color juxtapositions, while the hammered gold mounts enhance the organic, tactile quality.

Created during the height of Webb’s 1960s–1980s design era, when his innovative use of carved hardstones and dramatic combinations defined his style, these earrings stand as a testament to both rarity and artistry within his body of work.
