These stunning David Webb cufflinks are lion enamel heads on 18k bumpy matte gold, creating texture and contrast from the bright white enamel face and end cap. A two round emerald cabochon serve as the eyes, bezel set and used to implement color and playfulness to the piece. The deep green of the stone easily juxtaposes against the white enamel, adding another layer to the piece. These weighty 18k cufflinks are statement pieces that add color, style, and refinement to any cuff. The backs carry a T-bar toggle fitting. Each piece is stamped WEBB on the reverse.
David Webb (1925-1975) established his New York atelier in the 1940s and became recognized for architecturally bold jewelry characterized by heavy enamel work, large cabochon stones, and textured gold, catering to a sophisticated American luxury clientele. Signed Webb pieces are actively collected and documented in major auction records.
