David Webb Burma Ruby Colombian Emerald Pendant Necklace
By David Webb
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...

Located in Miami, FL
A Victorian Etruscan revival festoon necklace This is a beautiful festoon dangle-drop necklace created in England during the Victorian period, back in the 1880. The unusual necklace was carefully crafted in the desirable Etruscan revival style in solid yellow gold of 14 and 15 karats with textured finish. It is embellished with nineteen dangles fringes of different lengths, which are mounted with one-hundred-thirty-five graduated cabochons carved from natural blue turquoises. The necklace is fitted with a concealed security box lock and have a great eye appeal when is wear. Revival jewelry The styles from the renaissance and Middle Ages, begun in the 1850’s, The Renaissance and Egyptian revivals were joined by a classical revival of Greek and Etruscan styles to conform a new aesthetic. As a result of the construction work on the Suez Canal in the mid-1860’s and the Egyptian excavations of Auguste Mariette and the resultant exhibit of Egyptian treasures at the exposition Universelle in 1867, a fascination for all things Egyptian and ancient cultures developed. For centuries, Ancient Egypt and the Etruscans has held the fascination of the public and continues to inspire artists and designers alike. Between the 1860 and 1890, ancient cities were discovered, such as Troy, Pompeii and Alexandria. Archaeological excavations in Egypt, Greece and Rome, discovered artistic pieces of these ancient cultures. These fabulous discoveries, stimulated cultural trips to these countries, popularly called "grand tour". Being the case that the enthusiast visitors bring back small objects, like souvenirs to be assembled into jewelry. The starting point of these trips were in the cities of Rome and Venice. this is why the craftsmen of these cities created small and interesting objects with ancient characteristics like this suite. In addition, during the half of the nineteenth-century, the publication of Darwin’s Origin of Species coupled with massive urbanization resulted in a popular fascination with the natural world. One of the more weird and wonderful ways this fascination manifested was as a fad for jewelry created from the iridescent green shells of scarab beetles. The little jewel-toned bugs were incorporated into everything from hatpins to bracelets, earrings and necklaces. In 1884 the Countess Granville even had an entire suite crafted of beetles.
