David Webb Clip-on Earrings

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.

David Webb Jade Diamond Ruby Ear Clips
By David Webb
Located in New York, NY
Jade has been regarded historically by the Chinese as the “stone of heaven,” prized above diamonds, and considered to be a metaphor for longevity, wisdom, and purity. The Mandarin character for jade, or you, has two meanings: “imperial” and “heaven” - symbolizing the link between heaven and earth. These David Webb Ancient World Vintage Carved Jade Button Earrings have the quality of significant artifacts yet, at the same time, are imbued with his dazzling colorful style and updated Art Deco glamour. The domed clip-back earrings, perhaps dating to the 20th century, circa the 1980s, are symmetrical in composition, crafted in 18K yellow gold and platinum, and set with 16 cabochon red rubies and 16 round brilliant cut diamonds which encircle a pair of rich Chinese jade carvings...
