Presented with a polished gold mariner-link chain, this magnificent beast possesses the unmistakable artistry of an important David Webb jewel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEstimated to date from the 1970s, this pendant belongs to the celebrated family of animals that established Webb as a force in American jewellery. Introduced in the late Fifties, his Kingdom series transformed creatures from land, sea and sky into audacious gold sculptures. By the Seventies, when this jewel is expected to have been created, Webb's animalia had earned him the Coty American Fashion Critics’ Award and become central to his international reputation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor us, David Webb remains the greatest American jeweller: fearless with colour, uninhibited in shape and capable of turning important materials into jewels charged with wit and personality. This roaring tiger is an epic example of American ingenuity, combining sophisticated New York goldsmithing and the glamour of high jewellery with the immediacy of pop culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tiger’s head is sculpted in three dimensions, its sweeping black and white enamel stripes outlined in gold. Two faceted marquise-cut emeralds form the vivid green eyes, while fields of round diamonds illuminate the dramatically raised muzzle. The open mouth reveals a red enamel tongue, polished gold teeth and powerful fangs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe contrast is pure Webb: graphic enamel against glowing yellow gold, intense green eyes against white diamonds, and a ferocious expression delivered with irresistible humour. The hollow reverse creates essential volume, and a hinged bail accommodates the accompanying mariner-link chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA COLLECTOR’S MUST: Signed period animals occupy a particularly important position within David Webb’s work. They embody the designs that defined the House, combining instantly recognisable imagery, significant material value and intricate enamel work. Webb’s animals have entered museum collections, inspired dedicated exhibitions and become some of the most coveted jewels associated with the great American designer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSTYLE: At a time when David Webb is enjoying a powerful revival, this tiger feels exceptionally fashionable. Wear it long against a black crew neck, a white shirt, dark denim or tobacco tailoring, allowing the striped enamel and emerald eyes to take control. It is a statement piece, but also an enormously fun jewel to style. We find it equally compelling for gentlemen collectors, particularly worn over a dark shirt, a fine-gauge sweater or even a formal dinner jacket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"hidein-fp\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOur Price Analysis\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAN EXCELLENT PRICE because signed David Webb animal jewels belong to the House’s most collectible category. This example combines considerable scale, a 75.75g gross weight, excellent condition and unmistakable Webb design with diamonds, emeralds, enamel and accompanying gold chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• DESIGN VALUE: Webb’s Kingdom animals are foundational to his reputation as the greatest American jeweller. This tiger transforms sophisticated New York goldsmithing into a witty, graphic and immediately recognisable sculpture. Its monumental pendant format is also less frequently encountered than Webb’s animal rings and brooches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• MATERIAL VALUE: The 18k yellow gold construction provides strong support. An estimated 1.5–2.5ct of diamonds, two marquise-cut emeralds and extensive enamel add important material and artisanal value. At 7.5 by 5.5cm, this is what we consider a piece of very high, fine jewellery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• SECONDARY MARKET VALUE: Specialist dealers currently offer smaller David Webb tiger brooches at approximately $24,900, while signed white-enamel examples with diamonds and emeralds are offered around $35,000. More elaborate tiger designs can exceed $50,000. The price of this considerably larger pendant therefore sits attractively below much of the visible specialist retail market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• COLLECTOR VALUE: Period Webb animals are among the designer’s most recognisable and sought-after creations. Their importance is supported by museum acquisition, dedicated exhibitions and continued demand for the House’s Kingdom designs. The visible “® WEBB © 18 KT” signature strengthens the pendant’s collector attraction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• PRICE VALUE: The combination of celebrated maker, substantial material content, impressive volume, excellent condition and Trusted Dealer presentation makes this a compelling opportunity.
