David Webb Cabochon Gemstone Half Hoop Earrings
$19,750
A classic David Webb silhouette, these gold half hoop earrings, set with vivid cabochon rubies, sapphires, and emeralds, are a dynamic example of the House's love of bold color combinations. Reminiscent of a colorful gold quilt, the diamond rope patterning outlining the collet-set cabochon stones seem as if they were twisted by hand and laid gently on the clipback earring's foundations.

Literature: Earrings discussed in David Webb: The Quintessential American Jeweler, by Ruth Peltason, Assouline, 2013
Known for his dynamic use of color, David Webb combined his loves of art and culture with jewelry, once saying, "I had a tremendous feeling of art in me. I wanted to be an archaeologist, a ceramicist, or a jeweler. Jewelry won out."
