A dramatic David Webb necklace, made of 18k gold and black enamel, and featuring diamonds. Despite being made of gold, this impressive piece is reminiscent of a soft, fabric-made collar. It consists of convex ruffles connected by large rectangular links. In the center, two ruffles overlap each other, creating a beautiful loop. Each ruffle, except for the clasp, is generously encrusted with diamonds. The gold trim, combined with the black enamel and the whiteness of the sparkling diamonds, creates a spectacular color block composition. The diamonds are set in platinum which emphasizes even more the whiteness and sparkle of the diamonds. This striking Webb necklace is a head-turner and conversation starter. It’s looking for a confident wearer who appreciates vintage statement pieces. We also have a pair of earrings and a ring that would beautifully complement the necklace (please see pictures 7 and 8). Please inquire if you are interested. This Webb vintage necklace is made of 18k yellow gold, platinum and set with round brilliant cut diamonds (F-G color, VS clarity, approximately 8.0 carats total weight). The vintage collar necklace is 20" (50 cm) long; its width graduates from 7/8" (2.3 cm) in the center to 5/8" (1.6 cm) towards the clasp. The Webb necklace weighs 204.1 grams. The enamel necklace is stamped with David Webb maker's mark, hallmarks for 18k gold and platinum.
