David Webb Burma Ruby Colombian Emerald Pendant Necklace
Located in New York, NY
There are certain materials that American jewelry designer, David Webb (1925-1975) loves to use in a signature combination. And he has used them all so beautifully in this colorful statement piece. This Signed David Webb Burmese Ruby Colombian Emerald Convertible Brooch Pendant, made in the 21st century, circa 2010s, is crafted in a rich combination of metals including black enamel, 18K yellow gold, and platinum. The double pinstem brooch with a recessed gold loop to convert to a pendant features a carved and etched Burmese red ruby cabochon at the center held with four sets of gold double talon prongs, set within a surround of round brilliant cut diamonds. Fanning out from here are 5 carved and etched Colombian green emerald cabochons held in fluted yellow gold. These oblong exquisite jewels alternate with 5 striped black enamel and yellow gold flourishes which overlap and fan out in stylized wave curls, framing the emeralds dynamically and eloquently. From a jewelry designer whose notable collections include bright colorful gemstones, Egyptian influences, and geometric streamlined designs inspired by Art Deco, this splendid brooch is a superlative example expressing the iconic David Webb style. The emeralds reference the shape of Egyptian scarabs, albeit abstracted and stylized. The scarab was one of the more important amulets in ancient Egypt because the insect was a symbol of the Sun God. Here the oblong emeralds are carved and etched with a pattern of fronds, referencing the wings of the insect, but multiplied and intensified to an allover pattern. Many of Webb’s designs are reflections of his fascination with ancient cultures. He went on weekly trips to New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art and studied gold objects from the Incas, from Turkey and Syria, from Egyptian artifacts...

Vintage brooches, which refer to decorative jewelry traditionally pinned to garments and used to fasten pieces of clothing together where needed, have seen increasing popularity in recent years.

While jewelry trends come and go, brooches are indeed back on the radar thanks to fashion houses like GucciVersaceDior and Saint Laurent, all of which feature fun pinnable designs in their current collections. Whether a dazzlingly naturalistic Art Nouveau dragonfly, a whimsical David Webb animal, a gem-studded bloom or a streamlined abstract design, these jewels add color and sparkle to your look and a spring to your step. 

Given their long history, brooches have expectedly taken on a variety of different shapes and forms over time, with jewelers turning to assorted methods of ornamentation for these accessories, including enameling and the integration of pearls and gemstones.

Cameo brooches that originated during the Victorian age are characterized by a shell carved in raised relief that feature portraits of a woman’s profile, while 19th-century micromosaic brooches, comprising innumerable individually placed glass fragments, sometimes feature miniature depictions of a pastoral scene in daily Roman life.

At one time, brooches were symbols of wealth, made primarily from the finest metals and showcasing exquisite precious gemstones. Today, these jewels are inclusive and universal, and you don’t have to travel very far to find an admirer of brooches. They can be richly geometric in form, such as the ornate diamond pins dating from the Art Deco era, or designer-specific, such as the celebrated naturalistic works created by Tiffany & Co., the milk glass and gold confections crafted by Trifari or handmade vintage Chanel brooches of silk or laminated sheer fabric. Chanel, of course, has never abandoned this style, producing gorgeously baroque CC examples since the 1980s.

Brooches are versatile and adaptable. These decorative accessories can be worn in your hair, on hats, scarves and on the lower point of V-neck clothing. Pin a dazzling brooch to the lapel of your blazer-and-tee combo or add a cluster of smaller pins to your overcoat. And while brooches have their place in “mourning jewelry,” in that a mourning brooch is representative of your connection to a lost loved one, they’re widely seen as romantic and symbolic of love, so much so that a hardcore brooch enthusiast might advocate for brooches to be worn over the heart.

Today, find a wide variety of antique and vintage brooches for sale on 1stDibs, including gold brooches, sapphire brooches and more.
