David Webb Jewelry

American, 1925-1975

“Women are tired of jewelry-looking jewelry,” celebrated American designer David Webb once noted. In response, he created a menagerie of whimsical animals rendered as rings, brooches, earrings and, especially, bangle bracelets. This playfulness permeates all Webb’s work, which is characterized by brightly hued enamel and color-saturated semiprecious stones like coral, azurmalachite and turquoise, the notable exception being the clear, elegant rock crystal for which he had an affinity.

The North Carolina native apprenticed with his uncle, a silversmith, before moving to New York, where he established David Webb Inc. in 1948. He had no formal training in jewelry design. Instead, he culled inspiration from the ornamental styles of ancient Greece, Mesopotamia, Egypt and the Americas, as well as the traditions of India and China — influences discernible in such pieces as his collar necklaces and talisman-like sautoirs. 

Webb’s first animal bracelet was produced in 1957. His most famous, the zebra, took shape in 1963; its stripes now form the company’s logo. Although Webb died in 1975, his company continues to produce designs drawn from his extensive archives, and every piece is still made in the workshop above its Madison Avenue store.

By David Webb

David Webb was a masterful designer of jewelry, creating pieces that are both beautiful and unique. One such piece is his 18k yellow gold brooch fashioned in the shape of a ribbon, applied with vibrant red enamel, and set with just a few round diamonds. The brooch is a testament to Webb's incredible skill as a craftsman, and it exudes an air of elegance and sophistication. The bold use of color in the brooch's design is a hallmark of Webb's style, and the addition of the diamonds provides just the right amount of sparkle to complete the piece. The ribbon shape is a classic motif in jewelry design, but Webb's interpretation gives it a fresh, modern twist. Overall, the David Webb brooch is a stunning example of his unique style and masterful craftsmanship. Brooch measures: 2.5 inches wide x 2 inches long...
