Set in 18k yellow gold and accented with rich cabochon rubies and emeralds, the pendant combines sculptural artistry with DAVID WEBB’s American ingenuity and unparalleled design flair.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe chain is equally captivating: alternating jade links and green braided silk, each gold-framed station adorned with ruby cabochons. A tactile, luxurious composition that merges ancient symbolism with mid-century glamour.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAllegedly sold through Sotheby’s at some point in its probable five-decade journey, this piece embodies Webb’s mastery of culturally inspired high jewellery and his fascination with carved stones.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSTYLE: Wear as the striking centerpiece of a minimalist neckline, or layer with gold torques for a modern collector’s mix.

The asking price sits below several comparable David Webb necklace results in the European secondary market, especially for gem set and convertible designs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• MATERIAL VALUE: At 115.65g, this is a substantial jewel. The carved jade centre, together with emerald and ruby accents, adds additional material value beyond the gold floor.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• DESIGN VALUE: David Webb’s market premium is strongly linked to recognisable sculptural design language and wearable engineering. Convertible functionality is consistently valued in Webb pieces, and an 8.5cm carved jade element creates an “object jewel” feel, closer to Webb’s collectible, statement jewels than to simple gold link necklaces.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• SECONDARY MARKET VALUE: Comparable David Webb necklaces that have sold in the European secondary market provide a clear reference band:\u003cbr\u003e- Christie's sold a diamond, enamel, and jade necklace by David Webb for €69,300\u003cbr\u003e- Christie's sold a gold necklace by David Webb for €35,280\u003cbr\u003e- Christie's sold a convertible set by David Webb for €60,480\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCOLLECTOR VALUE: David Webb has a documented collector base and an established auction footprint, with particular demand for bold, instantly recognisable forms and signed pieces. Signed, statement Webb pieces tend to be the most collectible, especially those with strong sculptural motifs and distinctive coloured materials like this one.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePRICE VALUE: This price sits just above the gold necklace result and well below the gem-set and convertible examples, positioning it attractively within documented European auction results.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails \u0026amp; Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eBRAND \u0026amp; PERIOD: DAVID WEBB, estimated 1970s\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMATERIALS: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003ehammered 18k yellow gold, cabochon emeralds, row of cable links decorated with cabochon rubies, with a suspending carved jade pendant,\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSIZE \/ DIMENSIONS: Necklace length: 30cm.
