David Webb Enamel and Diamond Earrings
$25,000
Dating from the late 1960s, David Webb designed these sleek black enamel and diamond earrings for a collection that expressed the sense of liberation and change that was in the New York air at the time. The earrings, featuring hand-painted black enamel paired with colorless diamonds, were a modern update on the Art Deco aesthetic. These clean and compact clip-back hoops, with their intriguing contrasts of curving and rectilinear geometry of enamel, polished gold, and sparkling diamonds, stand out as a timeless and flattering accessory.
