Carved Jade, Coral and Diamond Pendant by David Webb

Gorgeous specimens of jade and coral are carved with a Chinese motif in this highly sculptural pendant by American jewelry designer David Webb. The stunning red coral is carved with faces on four sides and surmounted by luminous green jade, while diamonds totaling approximately 4.00 carats add sparkle to the retro design. Crafted of 18K gold and platinum, this pendant embodies the creative genius of Webb's highly distinctive jewelry designs.

Once described as "today's Fabergé" by the Duchess of Windsor, jet-setting Madison Avenue-based designer David Webb was known for his innovative designs and celebrity clientele, which included the likes of the Duchess, Jackie Kennedy and Elizabeth Taylor. Webb drew his inspiration from a multitude of sources, both foreign and domestic, and he was fascinated by the designs of antiquity, studying the art of ancient Egypt, Greece, Africa and China. He became enamored with mixing colorful gemstones with cutting-edge design. This fantastic piece of jewelry epitomizes his credo to "create jewelry like sculpture…conceiving and modeling it like a work of art."
