About the Item
Designed by David Webb in the early 1970s, this "Twilight" collection cuff bracelet is composed of 18K gold, diamonds, baroque pearls and enamel. It is designed as a double hinged cuff with three white baroque South sea pearls set above a pattern of crosshatched lines pavé-set diamond and black enamel. A late creation designed by Webb himself, this impactful bracelet was an original response to the strong geometry of cityscapes and nostalgia for the Art Deco.

Macklowe Gallery Curator's Notes:
Arriving in New York after World War II, Webb's long and successful career as a designer was part and parcel of his life as a cultured, outgoing New Yorker, observing and participating in the life of the city as it evolved over the decades. As a New Yorker, inspired both by its sophistication and its grittiness, Webb himself noted: "There is nothing delicate about life today; it is elegant and harsh at the same time."

David Webb
“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.
